ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Composed by Sri Vedanta Desika (Stotra literature, Kanchipuram) · Sri Vedanta Desika (Venkatanatha) · c. 13th–14th century CE
Sudarshana is the personified discus weapon of Lord Vishnu, held in his right hand and worshipped in the Sri Vaishnava tradition as a fierce deity who destroys evil and protects devotees. Sri Vedanta Desika, the towering acharya of Sri Vaishnavism, composed the Sudarshana Ashtakam at Kanchipuram. Tradition holds that he wrote it to counter a powerful affliction or to invoke Sudarshana's protective grace, pouring into eight verses a torrent of names and qualities of the divine discus, each closing with the victory-cry 'jaya jaya śrī sudarśana'.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
Tradition relates that Sri Vedanta Desika invoked Sudarshana through this hymn to repel a deadly epidemic (or a hostile sorcery) afflicting the people; the blazing discus is said to have driven away the calamity, and to this day devotees chant the Sudarshana Ashtakam during the Sudarshana Homam, holding that no curse, disease or evil force can withstand the whirling fire of the Lord's discus.
