Sudarshana
Perumal, or Chakrathalwar, the divine discus of Sri Vishnu is a sacred element
in the Ayudha Puja (worship of weapons) in Vaishnava shrines of South India.
In the
Ahirbudhanya Samhita, a text of the Vaishnava Tantric Pancharatra sect, the
discus of Vishnu is evoked as a powerful multi-armed Sudarshana Purusha, which
has to be worshiped with elaborate rituals.
This
Panchaloha icon placed on a two-tiered lotus pedestal, depicts the mighty
Sudarshana in a fiery aura, with jutting teeth and weapons in his arms- all elements’
attributes of guardian deities, who are fierce and potent.
That he is
Lord Vishnu himself is marked by the Vaishnava U-shaped tilaka, Makarakrita
Kundala (Makara-shaped earrings), and Srivatsa (triangular motif, symbol of
Devi Lakshmi).
On the
reverse of the bronze image is Yoga Narasimha, seated in a yogic pose with the
characteristic belt around his legs and holding the Sudarshana Chakra in his
hands, highlighting it as the primary divine weapon in the composition. He sits
on the hoods of Adishesha, a representation of time and all that is beyond
time, as a depiction of Yoga-Narasimha’s incomprehensible powers.
The pentagonal shape
behind Chakrathalwar and Yoga-Narasimha is a Tantric sign of the balance of
male and female energies. Imbued with primal and profound symbolism, this
bronze icon is the most powerful emblem of the powers of Vishnu, the great
preserver of the cosmos.
