Set into motion by the Supreme Personality of Godhead and wandering in all the four directions, the disc of the Supreme Lord has sharp edges as destructive as the fire of devastation at the end of the millennium. As a blazing fire burns dry grass to ashes with the assistance of the breeze, may that Sudarśana cakra burn our enemies to ashes.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

The Lord’s cakra, with edges sharp like the fire of devastation, wanders everywhere. Burn up the armies of the enemy, just as fire, friend of the wind, burns dry grass! In four verses he recites mantras for protection by the Lord’s cakra. The cakra has a sharp edge like the fire at time of universal destruction. It moves everywhere, engaged by the Lord. Please burn up the armies of the enemy, just as fire burns dry grass (kakṣam).
