Iti Shree Sudarshana Ashtottara Shatanaamaavali
Meaning
The Sri Sudarshana Ashtottara Shatanamavali is a list of 108 names addressed to Sudarshana, the discus of Vishnu, worshipped as a deity in his own right. In South Indian Vaishnava temples he is known as Chakrattalwar. Every name is set in the form Om ... namah, so the list is made for archana with flowers or kumkum.
The blazing form
The opening names are Sudarshanaya, Chakrarajaya, Tejovyuhaya and Mahadyutaye. Then come Sahasrabahave, Arunakshaya, Anekaditya-samkashaya and Saudamini-sahasrabhaya, which picture a thousand-armed, red-eyed figure shining like many suns and a thousand flashes of lightning. Shatkonantara-samsthitaya places him in the hexagram of the Sudarshana yantra, and Raktachandana-rushitaya shows him smeared with red sandal paste.
Protector and servant of Narayana
The middle names stress protection: Bhavaroga-vinashakaya, destroyer of the disease of worldly existence, Rakshahkula-yamopamaya, like Yama to the demon clans, and Nitya-kshemakaraya. Narayanajnanuvartine reminds the reader that the discus acts on Narayana's command. Further on he is Paramatman, Paramjyoti, Trigunatman and Chittasakshin, the witness of the mind, so the weapon is seen as one with Vishnu himself.
Names of mantra
Near the close the names turn to seed syllables: Omkara-rupaya, Aimkaraya, Shrimkaraishvarya-vardhanaya, Klimkara-mohanakaraya and Humphat-kshobhanakritaye. There is no phala shruti. The list is chanted during Sudarshana homa, at temple archana and at home on Vishnu days.
