Sudarshana Ashtakam

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who is fearsome to hoards of enemies of devotees, who is ornament for all blessed actions, who helps one to cross the sea of samsara, who stabilizes the entire universe, who cuts off accumulated sins of bad actions, and who teaches righteous conduct.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who is the ornament of the Lord of the universe, who removes the fear of all asuras towards devas, who is worshipped by Lord Brahma and hosts of others, who is worshipped by the Sat Patha Brahmana, who is on the part of devotees for overcoming contestants, and who is worshipped by Lord Shiva.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who is surrounded by resplendent light like a halo, who is surrounded by forms of Vishnu, who is difficult for even great scholars to grasp, and who helps devotees to cross problems.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who is firmly attached to righteous people, who is the natural home for six good assets, who took the form with a horse's neck (Hayagriva connection), and who was the reason for the destruction of the cities by Shiva.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who destroys the spread of asuras, who removes the sorrows of birth, aging and death, who wins over the art of war of asuras, who removes the false knowledge from his devotees, whose valour is praised by devas, and who rotates in various ways in a war.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who appeared with a fast forward gait which appeared very pretty, who is surrounded by several weapons, who expels the illusions sent by enemy in case of war, who decorates himself with several garlands, and who wears mercy while blessing devotees who worship him through tantra and yantras.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who gives the wealth of salvation and incomparable wealth to those who chant your six-lettered mantra, who is available in the yantra of six corners, who is a form in which all knowledge exists, who is able to complete all deeds that you take up, and who is the Kalpaka tree fulfilling all wishes.

Victory and Victory to you, oh Sudarshana, who is the three Vedas which are the eye of the world, who is the form of the three fires of yagas, who is the eternal knowledge of true knowledge, who is a form of the power of the universe, who is the accomplisher of deeds that you take up, and who destroys all fears occurring in the world.

This octet which fulfills all desires and gives the inner meaning of Lord Sudarshana, composed by Venkata Natha, if read, would fulfill desires and remove obstacles because of the glorious boon-granting powers of the Lord.
