The Sudarshana Chakra is a spinning, disk-like weapon,literally meaning “disk of auspicious vision,” having 108 serrated edges used by Sri Maha Vishnu. The Sudarshana Chakra is generally portrayed on the right rear hand of the four hands of Vishnu, who also holds a shankha, a Gada and a padma. While in the Rigveda the Chakra was Vishnu’s symbol as the wheel of time, by the late period Sudarshana Chakra emerged as an ayudhapurusha, as a fierce form of Sri Vishnu, used for the destruction of an enemy.
