|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||












Goddess Sri Parvathi speaks “ Oh! Devadeva/Lord of Lords,  Oh! Mahadeva/Lord of the Universe, Mighty Lord, Oh! Karunakara/too compassionate, Oh! Shankara who symbolizes auspiciousness, kindly narrate the glorious myth of Ramapathi, there are various incarnations of Lord Vishnu and numerous sacred armor praising the splendor of Lord Vishnu,  Oh! Vibho, I would like to listen to the sacred armor of Hayasya who is horse faced.”


Lord Shiva speaks “ Oh! Devi, Oh! Priyamvadhe, Oh! Priye, it was remained highly confidential till date, I shall narrate the splendor of  sacred armor of Hayasya which is pot of nectar, Lord Hari undertook great expedition assuming the form of horse faced/Hayavakthra  during the hours of end of  Mahakalpa, in order to perform his mysterious pastime.  Previously Lord Bhrama described the sacred armor of Hayasya Kavacham to Maharishi Narada due to his affection towards his son, therefore Lord Bhrama is considered as Rishi, it has Anushtup as Chandhass, praising the splendor of Lord Hayagreevah  as  deity, Hraum as Beejam, Hreem as Shakthi, Om as Keelakam.”


Lord Shiva continues “ The sacred armor of Lord Hayagreevah is highly propitious hymn, composed by Lord Bhrama as Rishi, Anushtup as Chandhass, presiding deity is Lord Hyagreevah, I shall pronounce the sacred syllable ‘Om Hreem’ and prostrate before Lord Vageeshvara who is the Lord of excellence in speech as Beejam,  I shall  pronounce the sacred syllable ‘ Om Kleem’ and prostrate before Lord Vidhyadhara who symbolizes supreme wisdom and knowledge as Shakthi,  I shall pronounce the sacred syllable ‘Om Sau’ and prostrate before Vedanidhaye who symbolizes Veda as Keelakam, I shall prostrate before Lord Hayagreevah who has the complexion of crystal, he symbolizes all branches of knowledge, and supreme wisdom, I shall prostrate before Achyutha who represents ‘Omkara’ and he imparts the knowledge of Bhramam.”

Dhyanam –

I shall prostrate before Lord Hayagreevah along with Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi who carries golden vessel on her lotus hand, he is decked in magnificent crown and ornaments of precious yellow metal, Lord Hayagreevah carries Akshamala/prayer beads, lotus flower and sacred scriptures in hands.
