SrI:

Dear Sudarsana BhakthAs:

SlOkam 1:
**********

SoudarsanyujjihAnA disi vidhisi 
tiraskruthya Saavithrimarchi:
bhAhyAbhAhyanthakAra kshatha-
jagadandhkAra bhUmnA svadhAmnA
dhO: kharjUdhUragarjath-viBhudha-ripu-
vadhoo kaNDavaikalya kalyA
jwAlA jAjvalyamAnA vitharathu
BhavathAm veepsayAbhIpsithAni

The prayer here to Sudarsanar is for 
the banishment of the darkness of nescience
inside and the darkness outside with the power
of His matchless radiance . The additional prayer
is for that effulgent radiance of Sudarsnar
to grant all that one desires (Soudarsani JwAlA 
bhavathAm abhIpsithAni vitharathu ). Actually , 
the great UpAsakar (Koora NaarAyana Jeeyar 
is praying to His UpAsana Moorthy to confer 
all the auspicious boons to those , who 
recite SrI Sudarsana Sathakam .

(meaning): The unmatchable , brilliant effulgence of
Sudarsana BhagavAn makes the brightness of the Sun
pale in to insignificance next to its radiance.
This effulgence of Sudarsanar pervades everywhere.
It chases away the inner and outter darknes that
makes the world totter on its legs and rejuvenates
the beings of the world to enjoy a new life. The inner 
darkness originates from ajn~Anam (nescience) .That is
chased away. The power of the brilliant rays arising 
from Sudarsanar makes widows out of the boasting asurAs , 
who are destroyed by Him in the battle field. May that 
Sudarsana BhagavAn's never-diminishing effulgence
shining in a matchless manner fulfill all what you 
desire !

Additional Notes:
*****************
Sudarsana BhagavAn's JwAlai is recognized and 
saluted here as Jaajvalyam (blindingly brilliant) . 
It puts down the brightness of the Sun as an insignificant 
radiance ( Saavithram archi: thiraskruthya).That matchless 
radiance of Sudarsanar removes inner and outter darkness 
( Bhaahya abhAhya andhakAra naasini). It removes 
the Mangalya Soothram of the wives of the boasting
AsurAs , who dare to fight with Sudarsana BhagavAn (i-e).,
Sudarsnar destroys the asurAs and makes their wives 
widows and creates amangaLam (Vaikalyam)by
removal of their Maangalya Soothram that adorned their
necks before . May that Sudarsana JwAlA confer on You ,
Your heart's desires ( SoudarsanI jAjvalyamAnaa JwAlA 
bhavathAm abhIpsithAni santhatham vitharathu )! 

That Sudarsana-Narasimha BhagavAn protects one's limbs ,
wards off dangers from all directions and at all times
and all places; He protects one's family , acquired Isvaryam 
( Cattle , house , wealth of every kind including one's
Jn~Anam , Tapas and SrEyas ). SrI Sudarsana Kavacham 
describes all these blessings conferred by Lord Sudarsana
and declares that the power of the Flame-adorned Lord 
(JwAlA mAlAthi BhUshanam) is "Sarva Kaamadham". It is
described as the remover of all distresses ( Sarva 
BhAdhA prasamanam) and destroyer of all kinds of
illnesses ( Sarva VyAdhi naasanam).He is saluted 
by the Sudarsana Kavacham as the destroyer of
all kinds of enemies /inner and the outter enemies
(sarva Chathru Kshayakaram).He is recognized as
a conferrer of all types of auspiciousness /Chathur vidha 
PurushArTams ( Sarva MangaLa dhAyakam , BhOga Moksha Saadhanam).

SlOkam 2
*********
This slOkam instructs us that the Tejas (lustre)
of Sudarsana BhagavAn will drive away our poverty
and confer undecaying wealth:

" ChAkram Maha: bhUthayE Va: sphuratu"

This slOkam takes the following form:

prathyudhAtham mayUkhair-nabhasi 
dhinakrutha: prApthasEvam prabhAbhi:
bhUmou soumEravibhir-dhivivari-
vasitham dheepthibhir-dEvadhAmnAm
bhUyasyai bhUthayE: Va: sphurathu sakala-
dhig bhrAnthra sAndhra sphulingam
ChAkram jaagrath prthApam Thribhuvana-
vijaya vyagram ugram mahastath

(Meaning): May that much celebrated tEjas of
SudarsanAzhwAn , which generates fear in the hearts 
of His enemies through His undiminishing valour 
and who has vyApAram of winning over the enemies of
the Lord in the three worlds confer on You all,
abundant wealth of every kind! That MahA tEjas of 
Sudarsana BhagavAn is saluted by the golden rays of 
Meru mountain , welcomed with upachArams by 
the rays of the Sun and is served by the illustrious
radiance of the golden palaces of the DevAs.

Additional Notes: 
*****************
The MahA tEjas of the JwAlais of Sudarsana 
BhagavAn is described as " Vyagram ugram Maha:". 
Vyagram means intense; ugram means fierce. 
These intense and fierce JwAlais have to be 
associated with the tEjas of JwAlA Narasimhan 
empowering His Nithyasoori ( Sudarshanar). 

"PrathyudhyAtham" is equivalent to Pradhyudhgatham
meaning the respectful gesture of one getting from
one's seat to greet and salute a superior person.
Here , the the golden rays of Meru Mountain
are visualized as greeting and worshipping 
the spreading Jwaalais of Sudarsana BhagavAn
( SoumEravIbhi: PrathyudhyAtham nabhasi mayUkhai:). 
This event happens in the sky (nabhasi) and is 
carried out by the kiraNams/rays (mayUkhai:)originating 
from the Golden Meru Mountain(SumErO: imaa mayUkhai:
pradhyudyAtham Maha:).This happens in BhUlOkam.

Next , the UpAsakar visualizes the Sun greeting
and saluting Sudarsana BhagavAn's advancing 
fiercely intense rays with His own bright rays
(dhinakrutha: prapthasEvam prabhAbhi:).This aarAdhanam
takes place in the sky over Meru Mountain.

In Deva lOkam , the lustre of the palaces of
the DevAs offers kaimakryams to the tEjas
of Sudarsanar with reverence(DhIpthir-dEva dhAmnAm).

The upadEsam is that the unmatched tEjas of 
the JwAlais of Sudarsana BhagavAn will chase
away our poverty and insufficency of every kind
and usher in all kinds of wealth and soubhAgyams
( ChAkram Maha: BhUthayE Va: sphurathu). "Sphurath"
means an intense flow such as the swelling tide
of a flash flood .

The first two slOkams of SrI Sudarsna Sathakam
are echos of the Prapatthi slOkam dedicated
to Sudarsana BhagavAn in the PanchAyudha SthOthram:

Sphurath-sahasrAra-sikhAthi theevram
Sudarsanam BhAskara-kODi thulyam
SuradhvishAm prANavinAsi VishNO:
CHAKRAM sadhAham SaraNam prapadhyE

Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarshana ,Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarsna
Daasan , Oppiliappan Koil VaradAchAri Sadagopan
