Vajrapani, Hayagriva, Garuda Combined: according to the tradition Lodrag Drubchen Lekyi Dorje.

“Guhyapati Vajrapani with a body blue-black in colour, one face and two hands. The right hand holds a five pointed vajra. The left raised to the heart is pointing in a wrathful gesture; yellow hair twisting upwards amongst which is a Horse head, neighing sharply three times over-powering the Three Realms. The neighing of the Horse on the right over-powers the male lineages. The neighing of the Horse on the left over-powers the female lineages. The neighing of the middle Horse bestows attainments on the practitioner. On the crown of the head of the Horse is the King of Birds, Garuda, with a body white in colour, beating the sword-wings, having turquoise horns; adorned with a blazing jewel between the horns. Guhyapati's hair is adorned with a white spotted snake of the Kings Race, yellow spotted - Nobles Race for earrings and armlets, red spotted - Brahmins Race for necklace and belt, green spotted - Craftsmans Race for bracelets and anklets, black - Outcastes as a long necklace. Wearing a lower garment of tiger skin, [Vajrapani is] adorned with all the jewel ornaments - dwelling in the middle of a mass of pristine awareness [fire].” (Lhodrag Drubchen Lekyi Dorje, 1326-1401. sgrub thabs kun tus, vol. 3, folio 323-325).

“Shri Guhyapati Vajrapani with a body blue-black in colour, one face and two hands. The right [hand] holds up to the sky a gold five-pointed vajra, the left raised to the heart, pointing in a wrathful gesture. Yellow hair twists upwards among which are [three] green Horse heads, neighing sharply three times with the snout, overpowering the Three Realms. The neighing of the Horse on the right overpowers the male lineages. The neighing of the Horse on the left overpowers the female lineages. The neighing of the middle Horse bestows attainments on the practitioner.

On the crown of the Horse head is the King of birds, Garuda, with a body white in colour, three eyes, beating the sword-wings, having turquoise horns; adorned with a blazing jewel between the horns. With the two hands he eats in the mouth the snakes of the Four Races; the beak is made of vajra. All the feathers are in the forms of wheels, vajras and swords. Snakes of the Five Races adorn the limbs.

Adorning Guhyapati's hair is a white spotted snake of the King Race, yellow spotted - Noble Race for earrings and armlets; red spotted - Brahmin Race for necklace and belt; green spotted - Craftsman Race for bracelets and anklets; black - Outcaste as a long necklace. Wearing a lower garment of tiger skin, [Vajrapani is] adorned with all the jewel ornaments, standing with the right leg bent and the left extended in the middle of a mass of pristine awareness fire.” (Shakya Gelong Lobzang Kalzang Gyatso, 7th Dalai Lama, 1708-1757. sgrub thabs kun tus, vol. 3, folio 325-331).
