to Vyasa, and Vyasa taught it to the people. Thissingle-syllable bija-mantra is the word
Hlaum, which consists of the threeletters h, l, and om. They who chant this Hlaum bijamantra attain bothwealth and learning. They attain knowledge of the transcendental
form of Lord Hayagriva and they also attain liberation, becoming free from
theentanglement of residing in a material body. They become the rulers of thedik-palas,
kings, and nagas. Surya and others diligently chant this single-syllable Hayagriva
mantra. Of all bija-mantras, the single-syllable Hayagrivabija-mantra is the best. It is the
king of mantras. The syllable Hlaum is thetranscendental form of Lord Hayagriva
Himself.
