एवमेव महाभागो बभूवाश्वशिरा हरि: । पौराणमेतत् प्रख्यातं रूपं वरदमैश्वरम्,इस तरह महाभाग श्रीहरिने हयग्रीवरूप धारण किया था। भगवानका यह वरदायक रूप पुरातन एवं पुराण-प्रसिद्ध है
evaṃ eva mahābhāgo babhūvāśvaśirā hariḥ | paurāṇam etat prakhyātaṃ rūpaṃ varadam aiśvaram ||
इस प्रकार महाभाग भगवान् हरि अश्वशिरा (हयग्रीव) रूप वाले हुए। यह पुराण-प्रसिद्ध, प्राचीन, ऐश्वर्ययुक्त और वरदायक रूप है।

Educational Q&A
The Lord’s manifestations are purposeful and compassionate: His sovereign power (aiśvarya) expresses itself as a boon-giving presence, affirmed by ancient tradition, encouraging faith in divine protection and the safeguarding of dharma and sacred learning.
The narrator Vaiśaṃpāyana states that Hari assumed a horse-headed form (aśvaśiras), identifying it as an ancient, Purāṇa-celebrated divine manifestation known for granting boons.
