* Once in Thiriveezhimizhalai Vishnu worshipped SivA offering daily 1,000 lotus flowers. One day, to test Vishnu's commitment, Sive hid a lotus flower. Vishnu realized that He was short of one flower and offered His own eye, which was lotus-like. SivA was touched by Vishnu's devotion and blessed Him with the ChakrA (which is Sudharsana) - This story is in Vishnu PurANam.
