HAYAGRIVAVIDYA
destroy the enemies, evil effects of others' mantras, and counteract all sorts of evils due to inauspicious planets etc.
It will be observed from the full title of the treatise that Hayagriva here is associated with Avalokitesvara. In the Sadhanamālā,' he is described as a minor deity accompanying Avalokitesvara, and his appearance is made awe-inspiring but has nothing to do with a horse-face. It is only when he is described as a principal deity carrying the image of Amitabha on his crown that one of his faces is made like that of a horse."

In this ms. at the conclusion of the Hayagrivavidya, there appears another mantra written in a different hand (vide facsimile) which runs thus:
મ

As the Tibetan version of this short mantra could not be traced and the text could not be identified, it has not been included in our present edition.
