82. Chakratirtha
This is the place on the
northern bank of Manasi Ganga where Sudarshan
Chakra (Lord Vishnu’s personal weapon) stayed and rested.
According to the legend behind, when Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan hill up
on his little finger to protect the Brajvasis of the anger breakout of Indra,
Sudarshan chakra held itself above the land of Braj to evaporate the flood
waters due to the rain caused as a result of Indra’s anger. After evaporating
the complete flood water with its intense heat, Sudarshan Chakra requested Lord
Krishna to allow him to stay there near Manasi Ganga as he didn’t want to
leave the land of Braj. Thus, with the consent of Lord Krishna Sudarshan Chakra
came to reside at this place which later on was known by the name Chakratirtha....
