1.VARAHI:- Varahi, also known as Panchami, or the Fivefold One, bears the relation of "father" to Lalita, although pictured as a Devi. The mother form is Kurukulla Tara. Varahi gives four fires and Kurukulla five Shaktis -- this forming the complex shape in the centre of Shri Yantra. Varahi is fivefold as water, fire, earth, air and aether. These elements are related to lion, tiger, elephant, horse and Garuda -- the bird-human vehicle of Vishnu. Their colours are dark green, red, yellow, black and purple. Her mantra vidya of 110 letters is: "Aim glaum aim namo bhagavati vartali vartali varahi varahi varahamukhi varahamukhi andhe andhini nama rundhe rundhini namah jambhe jambhini namah mohe mohini nama stambhe stambhini namah sarvadushta pradadushtanam earvesham sarvabak chitta chakshurmukhagatijihvastambham kuru kuru shighram rashyam kuru kuru aim glaum thah thah thah thah hum phat svaha."

Her vidya (mantra) according to the Tantrarajatantra, is " Aim Hrim Shrim Am Aim Sa Ka La Hrim Nityaklinne Madadrave Sauh Am Kameshvari Nitya Shri Padukam Pujayami Tarpayami Namah." The same tantra gives her dhyana or meditation image as red like 10 million dawn suns, having a diadem of rubies, wearing throat ornaments, necklaces, waistchains and rings. She is red, has six arms and three eyes, and bears a crescent Moon, smiling softly. She holds a bow of sugar cane, flowering arrows, noose, goad, and a nectar-filled begemmed cup, showing the mudra of bestowing boons. The five arrows of desire (Kama) in the five petals are Longing, Maddening, Kindling, Enchanting and Wasting. These five Kamas are five forms of Kamadeva, Lalita as Krishna, who are Kamaraja (Hrim), Manmatha (Klim), Kandarpa (Aim), Makara (Blum) and Manobhava (Strim) with the colours yellow, white, red, purple and blue.
