sarvān kirīṭena lihan sābhramambaramambaraiḥ .. 178.38 ..
The Ṛiṣis and the Gandharvas began to chant hymns to Viṣṇu, and at the same time the Lord rose so high that His coronet touched the clouds, His feet covered the earth and His stretched arms spread in all directions Then He took His mighty Sudaraśana chakra, shining like the rays of the Sun, containing a thousand edges, the destroyer of the enemies looking like a blaze of fire, its ends adorned with golden work and its middle bedecked with diamonds, having garlands on it going and assuming forms at will, terrible to all the enemies, the eater of the blood, bone and marrow of the demons made by Brahmâ Himself, conjoined with the fury and fortitude of the Maharṣis, by the throwing of which the moveable and immoveable objects become burnt up, by virtue of which the goblins and the Râkṣasasa get satisfaction (by getting blood and flesh to live upon)—38 45
