Śiva-nāmānukīrtana-prastāvaḥ
Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
यत् तद् भगवता पूर्व दत्त चक्रं तवानघ । जलान्तरचरं हत्वा दैत्यं च बलगर्वितम्
yat tad bhagavatā pūrva datta cakraṁ tavānagha | jalāntaracaraṁ hatvā daityaṁ ca balagarvitam ||
婆苏提婆说道：“无垢者啊，那神轮乃昔日圣主在诛灭那潜行水中、恃力骄狂的阿修罗之后赐予于你；其实此轮正是持牛幡者——弗利沙陀缚阇（湿婆）亲自化生而成，并亲手授你。此兵炽然如火，具不可思议之光辉，势不可当。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that extraordinary power and protection arise through divine grace and righteous purpose: a formidable weapon is not merely a tool of violence but a divinely sanctioned means to restrain arrogant, harmful forces that threaten order.
Kṛṣṇa (Vāsudeva) reminds the listener about a discus previously granted by Śiva (Vṛṣadhvaja). Śiva produced and bestowed it after a proud aquatic demon was slain, emphasizing the weapon’s fiery brilliance and irresistible might.
