Rudra said: 

1.    O Lord holding Shankha, Chakra and Gadā, please expound to me the worship of Sudarshana, by performing which the evil effects of planets, and illness are destroyed.

Hari said: 

2. O Vrushadhvaja, listen to the worship of Chakra Sudarshana. The devotee shall first take his bath and then worship Hari. 

3. The Nyasa is done by means of the Mula mantra. Listen to it. It is Om Sahasraram (having thousand spokes) Hum Phat obeisance (with the Pranava in the beginning). 

4. This piercing Mantra is said to be the destroyer of all wicked persons. 

The devotee shall meditate in the lotus of his heart Sudarshana the hinings. 

5-6. Then after invoking the gentle deity wearing Shankha, Chakra, Gada and Padma and coronet in the mystic diagram by means already mentioned, O Hara, let him worship Him with the offerings of fragrant flowers, etc. After worship tho mantra is to be recited one hundred and eight times. 

7. He who performs the excellent worship of the Chakra thus, shall be free from all sickness and shall attain the world of Vişhnu. 

8. Thereafter let him recite the following hymn destructive of all diseases. Obeisance unto Sudarshana lustrous like a thousand suns. 

9. Lighted by a series of flames and having a thousand spokes and eyes (obeisance unto Him) who destroys a'l the wicked, and suppresses all sins. 

10. Obeisance unto Suchakra, Vichakra and piercer of all mantras. Obeisance unto the originator of the world, the sustainer of the world and the destroyer of the world.

Obeisance, obeisance unto Him who is fierce and gentle and terrific in form. 

12. Obeisance unto Him who is in the form of the eye of the world and who dispels the fear of worldly existence, 

Obeisance unto Him who breaks asunder the cage of Maya, obeisance, obeisance unto the benefactor. 

13 Obeisance unto Him who is in the form of a planet and surpasses all the other planets. Obeisance to the lord of planets.

14. Obeisance to the blesser of devotees. Obeisance, obeisance to the protector of devotees. Obeisance unto Him who is in the form of Vişhnu, who is tranquil, and who bears all weapons. 

15. Again and again obeisance unto the weapon of Vişhnu; unto the Chakra obeisance. This hymn, highly meritorious of the Chakra that I explained to you shall be read with great devotion. 

16. He who docs so attains the world of Vishnu.
