sankara arahara sivA mahAdhev endruni andrusEviththu: and prayed meditating on Lord SivA saying "Oh Sankara, HaraharA, SivA and MahadevA!"

avanivegu kAla mAy vaNangiyuL urugi: Vishnu stayed for many days on this earth and prostrated before Lord SivA with utmost devotion;

vegu pAsa kOsa samprama adhibela katOra mA jalandharan nondhuveezha udalthadiyum Azhi thAvena: He prayed for the grant of a disc that could destroy the rope of bondage and shield of the strong, mighty and malicious demon, Jalandharan and that could knock him down by piercing his body.

* The powerful demon, Jalandharan, conquered all the celestials, including Vishnu, and decided to proceed to Mount KailAsh to challenge Lord SivA. SivA took the disguise of a brahmin and set up a disc daring Jalandharan to cross it before he could enter KailAsh. Jalandharan tried to cross the disc and was killed. Seeking that disc, Vishnu ardently prayed at Thiruveezhimizhalai offering 1000 lotus flowers every day to SivA. One day, the total count of flowers fell short by one, and Vishnu plucked His own lotus-eye and offered it to SivA. In appreciation of His devotion, SivA presented the disc (Sudharsana ChakrA) to Vishnu - Thiruveezhimizhalai PurANam.
