In this verse, Kṛṣṇa raises His wondrous Sudarśana disc—described as blazing like the pralaya-sun—showing it as His decisive divine weapon to destroy Śālva and protect dharma.
Śālva charged at Kṛṣṇa with a mace; Kṛṣṇa neutralized the immediate threat by severing his arm with a sharp arrow, then prepared to finish the battle with the Sudarśana Chakra.
The verse highlights swift, decisive removal of danger: devotees can cultivate faith that the Lord protects, while also acting intelligently and firmly to cut off harmful influences that threaten one’s dharma and devotion.
