I have a doubt regarding the name Hayagreeva. While it is known that
Sri Hayagreeva is the form of Sriman Narayana as the bestower of
knowledge, it is also known that the name Hayagreeva is given to an
asura who in fact tried to destroy all the Vedas by taking it under
the sea.
How is this that the same name is given to both the Supreme God and to
a demon. I request the scholars in our group to enlighten me on what
is the difference between the two names.
