Answer 1

Varaha Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas, a Hindu religious text. It describes in detail about the Varaha incarnation (avatar) of Vishnu, and narrates about the rescue of the Prithvi.

Answer 2

The word Varah can be split into the words Vara and Aha. Vara means one who envelopes and Aha means one who sets limits to the limitless. Varaha therfore signifies one who envelopes and sets limits to the formless. Varha lifts up the universe from the primeval depths of dissolution & darkness.

The Varha Purana is generally considered 12th among the Mahapuranas.

The Puranas are sacred Hindu texts that were composed many hundreds of years ago. The knowledge of the Puranas supplements the knowledge of the Vedas and the Upanishads. There are a number of Puranas, but 18 or 19 Mahapuranas (there is a dispute in one of the Puranas being a Mahapurana or not). The main confusion is about the fourth Purana - is it the Shiva Purana or the Vayu Purana? The other Puranas are known as Upapuranas.

The Purana definition of the Mahapurana is that it must exhibit five characteristics: _It must describe the original creation of the universe (sarga), the periodic destruction and recreation (pratisarga) , the different eras (manvantras), the histories of the solar dynasty (Surya vamsha) and the lunar dynasty (Chandra vamsha), and the royal genealogies (vamshanucharita).
In the strictest sense, only the Vishnu Puran conforms to the typology rigidly.
