The word Sudarshana is derived from two Sanskrit words – Su (सु) meaning "good/auspicious" and Darshana (दर्शन) meaning "vision". As an ayudhapurusha, the deity is known as Chakraperumal or Chakratalvar. The discus later emerged as an ayudhapurusha (an anthropomorphic form), as a fierce form of Vishnu, used for the destruction of demons. In the Rigveda, the Sudarshana Chakra is stated to be Vishnu's symbol as the wheel of time. The Sudarshana Chakra is generally portrayed on the right rear hand of the four hands of Vishnu, who also holds the Panchajanya (conch), the Kaumodaki (mace), and the Padma (lotus).
The Sudarshana Chakra ( Sanskrit: सुदर्शनचक्र, romanized: Sudarśanacakra) is a divine discus, attributed to Vishnu in the Hindu scriptures.
