നൂറു സൂര്യന്മാരെപ്പോലെ ജ്വലിച്ച് തനിക്കുമേൽ പതിക്കുന്ന സുദർശനത്തെ കണ്ട ഗണേശ്വരൻ ശൂലം ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച് ചക്രം പിടിച്ചു; മത്സ്യരൂപിയായ ഇന്ദ്രൻ മധുവിനെ പിടിച്ചതുപോലെ।

FAQs
Even formidable divine powers (Sudarśana’s ‘hundred-sun’ tejas) are situated within a cosmic order where opposing forces can momentarily check one another; the narrative stresses restraint, valor, and the non-finality of apparent dominance in divine conflicts.
It aligns most closely with Vamśānucarita/Carita-type narrative material (episodes of divine and semi-divine deeds), rather than cosmogenesis (sarga/pratisarga) or manvantara cataloguing.
The gaṇa-leader grasping Sudarśana suggests that Śaiva forces can ‘hold’ or engage Vaiṣṇava energy—an image compatible with Purāṇic non-sectarianism where divine powers are interrelated rather than absolutely antagonistic.
