“Meditate upon Hayagrīva, the great soul, resplendent like a white conch, jasmine, moonlight, lotus-fibre, and silver; pure like cow’s milk and radiant like millions of suns. He bears the conch, discus, mace, and lotus in His four hands; adorned with a crown, earrings, and a garland of forest flowers; gentle-faced, rosy-cheeked, clad in white garments, and surrounded by all the devas.”

oṃ namo hayaśirase vidyādhyakṣāya vai namaḥ |

surāsuranihantre ca sarvaduṣṭavināśine ||
Salutations to the peaceful Deva, who transcends the three guṇas; to the destroyer of both devas and asuras when they turn adharma, and to the annihilator of all evil.
sarvalokādhipataye brahmarūpāya vai namaḥ |
namaśceśvaravandyāya śaṅkhacakradhāraye ||
Salutations to the Lord of all worlds, whose form is Brahman itself; to Him who is worshipped even by Īśvara, bearing the conch and discus.
nama ādyāya dāntāya sarvasattvahitāya ca |
triguṇāyāguṇāyaiva brahmaviṣṇusvarūpiṇe ||
Salutations to the primordial, self-controlled One, the benefactor of all beings; to Him who is beyond the guṇas yet manifests as Brahmā and Viṣṇu.
kartre hartre sureśāya sarvagāya namo namaḥ ||
Salutations again and again to the creator, sustainer, ruler of the gods, and the all-pervading Lord.

“I meditate upon Hayagrīva, whose very form is knowledge itself; who abides upon a spotless white lotus encircled by the unbroken orb of the moon; whose body is pure and transparent like a crystal mountain, radiant with divine splendour. With His beloved seated upon His left, He continually expounds the eternal Vedic wisdom—its words and meanings. He is the beginningless, primeval Person, horse-faced in form, whose true nature is Haṃsa.”
