Hayagrīva

A Dictionary of Buddhism | 2004 | | Â© A Dictionary of Buddhism 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Hayagrīva. A tantric yi-dam or tutelary deity considered to be a wrathful form of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. His name means ‘horse neck’, and he is generally depicted with a horse's head. The cult of Hayagrīva may have its origins in Hindu mythology where he is regarded as a minor incarnation (Skt., avatāra) of Viṣṇu who was half man, half horse.
