Text 18] King Prthu’s Appearance and Coronation 631

PURPORT

All the demigods presented various gifts to King Prthu. Hari, an incarna-
tion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead known as Upendra in the
heavenly planet, presented the King a Sudargana disc. It should be under-
stood that this Sudargana disc is not exactly the same type of Sudargana
disc used by the Personality of Godhead, Krsna or Visnu. Since Maharaja
Prthu was a partial representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s
power, the Sudargana disc given to him represented the partial power of the
original Sudargana disc.
