The term for Vishnu's
discus weapon (chakra), which is fashioned by Vishvakarma, the gods' workman
and builder, in Hindu mythology.
Vishvakarma has married his daughter Sanjna to the sun, but
she finds her husband's brilliance too great to endure, according to the
narrative.
To assist his daughter acclimate, Vishvakarma uses his
heavenly instruments to cut away part of the sun's light, removing just enough
for Sanjna to endure being around him.
He then fashions the shaved pieces into Vishnu's Sudarshana
chakra, Shiva's tri dent, and a variety of other holy weapons, as well as the
Pushpak Viman, an airborne vehicle.
Sudarshana's heavenly source makes it a fearsome weapon
capable of annihilating any foe.
