ततः सुनाभं वसुदेवपुत्रः सूर्यप्रभं वज्रसमप्रभावम् । क्षुरान्तमुद्यम्य भुजेन चक्रं रथादवप्लुत्य विसृज्य वाहान्॥६-५५-८६॥
Then Vasudeva’s son, lifting with his arm the sharp-edged discus—radiant like the sun and formidable like a thunderbolt—leapt down from the chariot, releasing the horses.

संकम्पयन्गां चरणैर्महात्मा वेगेन कृष्णः प्रससार भीष्मम् । मदान्धमाजौ समुदीर्णदर्पः सिंहो जिघांसन्निव वारणेन्द्रम्॥६-५५-८७॥
The great-souled Krishna, making the earth tremble beneath his steps, rushed swiftly toward Bhishma—like a lion in the arena, pride fully aroused, moving to strike down a lordly elephant.

That (discus), as though awakened by the sunrise of Kṛṣṇa’s wrath, bore well-shaped “petals” with razor-edged rims and keen points; and Nārāyaṇa’s arm shone as its stalk, rising from the broad lake of his body.
