TRANSLATION

O Sudarsana wheel, you are religion, you are truth, you are en-
couraging statements, you are sacrifice, and you are the enjoyer of
the fruits of sacrifice. You are the maintainer of the entire uni-
verse, and you are the supreme transcendental prowess in the
hands of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You are the original
vision of the Lord, and therefore you are known as Sudarsana.
Everything has been created by your activities, and therefore you
are all-pervading.

PURPORT

The word sudarsana means “auspicious vision.” From Vedic instruc-
tions we understand that this material world is created by the glance of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead (sa aiksata, sa asrjata). The
Supreme Personality of Godhead glanced over the mahat-tattva, or the
total material energy, and when it was agitated, everything came into ex-
istence. Western philosophers sometimes think that the original cause of
creation was a chunk that exploded. If one thinks of this chunk as the
total material energy, the mahat-tattva, one can understand that the
chunk was agitated by the glance of the Lord, and thus the Lord’s glance
is the original cause of material creation.
