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 ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana disse: “Assim, de fato, o grandemente bem-aventurado Hari assumiu a forma de cabeça de cavalo. Esta é uma manifestação antiga, célebre nos Purāṇas—divina e soberana, concedente de dádivas.”

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.
