Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Varāha connection<br> This name is directly connected to the Varāha (Boar) avatāra, where Viṣṇu descended into the cosmic waters to rescue the earth goddess (Bhūmi Devī) who had been dragged to the depths of the ocean by the demon Hiraṇyākṣa. The Bhāgavata Purāṇa (3.13–19) narrates this magnificent episode: Viṣṇu as the great cosmic boar (‘mahā-varāha’) plunged into the primeval waters, found the earth, placed her on His tusks, and lifted her back to her place in the cosmos. As Bhūgarbhaḥ, Viṣṇu carries the earth within Himself — she rests within His being as a child in the womb.
