1.33.1
The glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, Chapter 33. / Rudra said: / Speak to me of the worship of Sudarśana, O wielder of the conch and mace, / by performing which planetary afflictions, diseases, and all else are surely destroyed.
1.33.2
Hari said: / Hear, O you whose banner bears a bull, the worship of the discus Sudarśana: / one should first take a bath, and then worship Hari.
1.33.3
The placement is performed with the root-mantra; hear the root-mantra: / preceded by the praṇava, the mantra is ‘Sahasrāra huṃ phaṭ namaḥ’.
1.33.4
It is proclaimed as the destroyer of all wicked ones, the breaker of mantras; / one should meditate upon the god Sudarśana in the pure, auspicious lotus of the heart,
1.33.5
Bearing conch, discus, mace, and lotus, gentle, wearing a crown; / having invoked the god in the maṇḍala by the previously stated procedure, O Hara,
1.33.6
One should worship him, O Maheśvara, with articles of worship beginning with perfume and flowers; / having worshipped, a man should recite the mantra one hundred and eight times.
1.33.7
Whoever performs this excellent worship of the discus in this way, O Rudra, / freed from all diseases, shall attain the world of Viṣṇu.
1.33.8
Afterwards one should recite this hymn, which destroys all illnesses: / ‘Obeisance to Sudarśana, who has the brilliance of a thousand suns;
1.33.9
To the one blazing with a garland of flames, the thousand-spoked one, the eye, / to the destroyer of all wicked beings, the crusher of all sins;
1.33.10
To the auspicious discus, the great discus, the breaker of all mantras, / to the progenitor, the upholder of the world, obeisance to the destroyer of the world;
1.33.11
To the protector of the worlds, the destroyer of wicked asuras, / to the fierce, and gentle, and obeisance, obeisance to the wrathful one;
1.33.12
Obeisance to the one whose form is the eye, the shatterer of the fear of worldly existence, / the breaker of the cage of delusion, and obeisance, obeisance to the auspicious one;
1.33.13
To the one whose form is planets and super-planets, obeisance to the lord of the planets; / to Time, to Death, and obeisance, obeisance to the terrible one;
1.33.14
To the giver of grace to devotees, and obeisance, obeisance to the protector of devotees; / to the one whose form is Viṣṇu, the tranquil one, and the bearer of weapons;
1.33.15
To the weapon of Viṣṇu, to the discus, obeisance, again and again obeisance!’ / Thus the greatly meritorious hymn of the discus has been proclaimed to you.
1.33.16
He who recites it with supreme devotion goes to the world of Viṣṇu; / and the restrained person who recites the rite of worshipping the discus, O Rudra, / having reduced sin to ashes, becomes fit for the world of Viṣṇu.
