The 39th Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
*********************************************
Chakra-dharAya Nama:

One who adorns the powerful weapon of Chakram namedSudarsanam on His upper hand .

Chakram is the Sankalpa Sakthi of the Lord. The salutation tothat Sudarsanar ( Sacred Disc on the upper hand of the Lord)is saluted in the SudarsanAshtakam , ShOdasAyudha SthOthramof Swamy  Desikan and the Sudarsana Sathakam of Koora NaarAyaNaJeeyar.

Sudarsanar  gives the name of ChakrapANi to the Lord(ChakrINa:) .Sudarsanar  carries out the commands of the Lord as His AayudEswaran( Lord of weapons).The second slOkam of ShOdasAyudha SthOthram salutes this Hethi Raajan (ChakratthAzhwAn) :

YadhAyattham Jagacchakram Kaalachakram cha Saasvatham
paathu vastath Param chakram Chakraroopasya ChakriNa:

(Meaning): The world is rotating like a spinning disc.The Tatthvam of Kaaalam rotates with the subdivisions of seconds, minutes , hours , days and years.All of these timedivisions are contained inside the great weapon of VishNu ,Sudarsanam . The Lord Himself has taken the form ofHis disc. May that lofty chakram protect us all!

One of the Sudarsana ashtaka slOkams celebratesthe Lord for adorning the Sudarsanam ( Subha Jagath
roopa MaNDitha).

Another Sudarsana ashtaka slOkam celebrates the Chakra dhAri andhow the ChakrAyudham fulfills the Lord's sankalpam:

Dhanuja-visthara-karthana  Jani-tamisraa-vikarthana
Dhanuja-VidhyA-nikarthana  Bhajath-avidhyA-nivartana
Amara-dhrushta-svavikrama Samara-jushta-bhramikrama
Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarsana  Jaya Jaya SrI Sudarsana

(Meaning): Oh Sudarsana , who destroys asurAs to their rootsfor engaging in dushta kaaryams ! You stand as the Sunwho destroys the dark night of samsAram for the Lord's devotees.You overcome every kind of Maayai that the asurAs perform togain an upper hand and make them powerless.You remove the nescienceof those , who approach You for anugraham . DevAs delight seeingYour heroic acts in their defense.Hail to Thee with such vaibhavam!
