I don't find any changes in Varahi yantra. They are the same. This verse is about eight Bhairavas.असिताङ्गो दिशि प्राच्यां आग्नेयां रुरु भैरवः।यांयां क्रोधोऽथ नैऋत्यां उन्मत्ताख्यास्तु भैरवः॥वारुण्यां तु कपालाख्यः वायव्यां भीषण भैरवः।उदीच्यं भैरवश्चण्डो ऐशे संहार भैरवः॥asitāṅgo diśi prācyāṁ āgneeyāṁ ruru bhairavaḥ |yāṁyāṁ krodho'tha naiṛtyāṁ unmattākhyāstu bhairavaḥ ||vāruṇyāṁ tu kapālākhyaḥ vāyavyāṁ bhīṣaṇa bhairavaḥ |udīcyaṁ bhairavaścaṇḍo aiśe saṁhāra bhairavaḥ ||However the order changes from what you have given in your comment.

Since Lalitā Sahasranāma itself is Śrī Vidyā, it can be recited safely without any preconditions.

It is said in the phala shruti, that one should recite lalitha sahasranamam after chanting Sri vidya mantra either 100 or 400 times. I do not have Sri chakra at home and do not know the Sri vidya mantra. Is it ok to recite only her sahasranamam?

There are many arguments whether Om is to be recited before Maha Sodasi mantra. In this context, Iwould like to discuss on this matter exclusively in Sakta way.OM is one of the pancha (five) pranava-s. Om is known as Aadi (first) pranava. As per the Sanskrit text, Om comprises of three letters A+U+M. (AUM). As per the Sakta vidya these three letters have specific meanings and importance especially in Sri Vidyopasana/Sri Chakropasana. Let us understand the aadi pranava in this context.Aadi pranava has three kuta-s (A+U+M) like Panchadasi or Sodasi mantra-s. First letter of this pranava i.e. A represents Agni mandala and second letter U represents Surya mandala and third letter M represents Soma mandala. Based on these mandala-s Patrasadhana, Nyasa and Eight avarana of Sri Chakra puja will be practiced by Sri Chakropasaka-s. These three mandala-s are to be contemplated in human body along with susumna marga with Shat chakra-s. [A detailed discussion on these mandala-s is available in book titled “Understanding and Worshipping Srichakra” authored by Sri V.Raviji. Readers may review this book for further information]. So inherently and indirectly, Om is worshipped at various places of Sri Chakra puja. Proper chanting of this Om will lead the practitioner to salvation. Generally, panchadasi will fructify materialistic desires and Sodasi will lead to (give) salvation. The three kuta-s of these mantra-s represents, agni, surya and soma mandala-s as in Om. Sodasi mantra has several bija-s and Om is one of such bija. It is to be keenly observed that, Maha sodasi only has Om and no Om is there in sodasi (laghu) and panchadasi mantra-s. Om in Maha sodasi has different meaning which has already been explained by Sri Raviji in his article. However, three kuta-s in panchadasi, laghu sodasi and maha sodasi inherently represents Om. In general way, we can say that practicing of these mantras will give additional results of Om practicing alone.There are two types of conjunctions for any mantra. One is Samputeekarana and another is Sankarana. Samputeekarana means conjoining of two different beeja-s and receiving same or additional benefits of original mantra/bija due to such conjoining. Here purpose and meaning of original mantra/bija will not change. Sankarana means conjoining of two different/same bija-s which results in a different mantra. Such sankarana may not give original results. From the above discussion, it can be concluded that, Om need not be chanted before maha sodasi. It is true that some of the texts, advised to precede Om before any mantra. This is the case of mantras which are not having the traits of Om. This is the not the case with Sodasi or Panchadasi for the reasons discussed above. What about the mantra-s which start with Om? (like Ganaesha, Siva Panchakshari etc) Shall we have to precede one more Om before actual mantra Om?
