External meta data	Additional Muktabodha meta data: Description: Description by Mark S.G. Dyczkowski: There is another texts with this name which is much shorter and is framed as a dialogue between Radha and Krsna. This Varahi Tantra is 4,631 verses long. Another complete manuscript is deposited in the library of Sampurnananda Sanskrit University in Varanasi. Varahi, is one of the eight Mothers (matrka). Although Tantras bearing the names of the other Mothers have not been recovered, Laksmidhara quotes a verse in his commentary on the Saundaryalahari which lists them as a standard group of Tantras. This Varahitantra associates itself with Kamarupa which is where it may possibly have been redacted. The colophons state that it belongs to the Daksinamnaya. It draws extensively from other Tantras but also contains much original material. Indeed, it is a veritable compendium of sakta ritual procedures. It is quoted in several texts. These include the Mantramaharnava, Tarabhaktisudharnava, agamakalpalata, Saubhagyabhaskara, Tararahasyavrtti, agamatattvavilasa, Sarvollasatantra, the Bengali Tantrasara and Laksmidharas commentary on the Saundaryalahari. It is also quoted in the Purascaryarnava which is attributed to the Nepalese king, Pratapasimhasaha. It is known to have been which was completed in 1775 ce, thus establishing the terminus ante quem for the date of the Varahitantra. Incidently, this fact demonstrates that the aforementioned texts must all be later. Practically all colophons are in the following simple format: iti srivarahitamtre daksinamnayanirvanapade mahatirahasyatamtravatare prathamah patalah \|\| 1 \| Notes: Revision 0: Nov. 15, 2014 Data-entered by the staff of Muktabodha under the direction of Mark S.G.
