Mantrashastra (the science of Mantras)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (mantra)ܻ岹śԲṣaḍaṣa (सुदर्शनषडक्ष�) is the name of a Mantra, as discussed in chapter 31 of the ṣmīٲԳٰ: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 3600 Sanskrit verses exclusively devoted to Goddess Lakṣmī or Śrī (the consort of Viṣṇu) besides dealing with cosmology and practical regarding Vaishnava priests and temple-building programs.—Description of the chapter [ܻ岹śԲ-ś]: [...] The ܻ岹śԲṣaḍaṣa-Գٰ is then described in terms of what is to be meditated upon during mantra-repetitions—thus yielding a description of (the iconography of?) Sudarśana (45-63). At the end, Lakṣmī identifies herself also with Sudarśana (64-82), this being one of her most extraordinary forms.
