| Abstract | In the Mongolian Buddhist world, powerful, fierce Buddhist deities such as Jamsran (lCam sring), Hayagrīva, and Vajrapāṇi are seen as paragons of courage, physical and mental strength and virtue and are greatly admired. The chapter investigates a connection between the war god Jamsran and Hayagrīva, the lord of horses, who traditionally stood at a junction of the religio-cultural, political, and economic realms in Mongolia. Their popularity among the Mongols came from being modeled into recognizable yet otherworldly beings who resemble celebrated Mongolian heroes and who can protect the Mongolian people, land, and horses from adversaries, demons of obstacles, and diseases. Since a Mongolian hero cannot fulfill his destiny without his fast steed and his inner wind horse, and his horse must have its own divine protector. In some cases this is yet another emanation of the hero’s own protector. |
