Agni said: "Then Pavaka gave Krishna the discus with the diamond hub, the beloved fiery weapon; and he became ready then; and Pavaka said to him: 'With this, O Madhusudana, even non-humans in battle you shall conquer, no doubt; with this you, over men and over gods in combat, over rakshasas, pishachas, daityas and nagas, shall always be supreme, no doubt, in the crushing of the foremost foes.'"

Here the Lord receives His own indestructible weapon — the discus. It is significant that the discus makes Krishna 'supreme over all' in battle: the Lord's weapon signifies His all-conquering power. The Sudarshana discus is the emblem of Narayana's invincible might, which destroys all evil. Thus the scripture reveals the giving of the discus; and with it Krishna is unconquerable across all worlds.
