For Puraścaraṇa, the process includes Mantra japa, homam, tarpaṇa, mārjaṇa and brāhmaṇa bhojana. Homam is performed by invoking the fire god Agni, consecrating the fire pit etc. and finally invoking the deity and offering Homam with the japa mantra, by appending 'svāhā' at the end. For instance, for this particular 9 lettered mantra, the homam should be invoked as "hasti piśāci likhe svāhā svāhā". Note that "svāhā" is suffixed even if the mantra ends with one. For Tarpaṇa, Lord Varuṇa, the god of water/oceans must be invoked and a special vessel called viśeṣa arghya must be consecrated and the contents of which are used for this ritual. The japa mantra is suffixed with the deity name in the second case (Sanskrit nomenclature) followed by "tarpayāmi namaḥ". For this mantra, the relevant Tarpaṇa mantra would be "hasti piśāci likhe svāhā ucchiṣṭa gaṇapatim tarpayāmi namaḥ" For mārjaṇa, also called Abhiṣeka, the deity in the second case followed by "abhiṣiñcāmi" must be suffixed at the end of the japa mantra. For this mantra, it would be "hasti piśāci likhe svāhā ucchiṣṭa gaṇapatim abhiṣiñcāmi". The Bhojana part is to feed pious people, to get their blessings to help remove any wrong doings in the entire Puraścaraṇa process. The detailed procedures are listed in many Tantra manuals and particularly well illustrated in Mantra Mahodadhi. We will try to publish the detailed procedures applicable to all deities in a separate article, when time allows.

Namaste. Excuse for troubling. Can you tell me how to perform tantric japa mantras with tarpana, marjana and brahmanas? I sort of figured out the Vedic tarpana, but I can’t understand how to make tarpana to complete the full purushcarana.

Sir, to the best of my knowledge and also after consulting my guru, who's an expert on Śrī Vārāhi Devi and Śrī Vidya, the village deities mentioned here appear to be related to Pitṛ or ancestral worship, than the worship of Śrī Vārāhi Devi. She can be worshipped as one amongst the Aṣṭamātṛkā-s, as Śrī Bagalāmukhi and as Herself under Śrī Vidya. She is a very high energy goddess and should be worshipped with proper higher level initiation. Out of devotion to Her, you may certainly worship Her by performing the ṣoḍaśopacāra puja, which is available on this site.

Sir In our villages every household or village or family having performing Varahi (Panjiuruli-Tulu) is it same. In all folk songs there is many Shivashakthi related Goddess are taking pujas (Bhuta-Kola, Nema) with village style. There Varahi land related Power/Shakthi. When visited Tanjavuru-Tamilnadu. Other many temple Kshetra palakas are Varahi. My doubt is they are all same.
