This shloka in particular talks about hayagreeva roopa. It also throws light upon different roopas based on different ayudhas used.

Kund inda sanibham –

Kunda – jasmine flower . Narayana has color like Jasmine. His color is attractive and pleasant.

Indu sanibham – like rays of moon. These illustrations are given to help us meditate on his form.

Sudharasa nibham –he is like flood of nectar

Vibhum – He is present like this in whole world

Aksha – Japa sara

Subhoda – Jnana mudre – always in right hand

In tantrasara sangraha , Acharyaru describes Hayagreeva roopa using following words –

Turanga vadana – Horse like face, shashibimbha samstham – He stays in Chandra mandala, Chandra avadatham – his intensity is pure like that of moonlight 

Significance of Aadhi and ayudham in this shloka:

Aadhi signifies that instead of pustaka there might be other things in the hand.

Illustration:

• Jnana mudre and abhaya mudre = Vedavyasa roopa, kapila, dattarareya roopa
• chakra, shanka dhara = nrisimha roopa , gayatri roopa.
• Chakra, gadhe, jnana mudre, shanka = Vamana roopa
• Parashu = Parashurama
• Jnana mudre, shrnga = rama = ” jnanam sharam (bow) cha dadham …….. sametham”
