Sudarshana

In Hindu mythology, the name for the
god Vishnu’s discus weapon (chakra),
which is fashioned by Vishvakarma, the
workman and architect of the gods.
According to the story, Vishvakarma has
married his daughter Sanjna to the sun,
but she finds her husband’s brightness
too much to bear. To help his daughter
adjust, Vishvakarma trims off some bits

of the sun with his divine tools, removing enough of his radiance that Sanjna
can bear to be with him. He then fashions the trimmed-off portions into
Vishnu’s Sudarshana chakra, Shiva’s trident, and various other divine weapons,
as well as the Pushpak Viman, an aerial
car. Sudarshana’s divine source makes it
a fearful weapon, and it is thus able to
decimate any enemy.
