Srimad Bhagavatam 10.89.43 &44:

'viprapatyam acaksaṇastata aindrim agat purim

agneyiḿ nairṛtim saumyam vayavyam varunim

..........

agnim viviksuh krsnena pratyuktah pratisedhata'

aindrim — of Lord Indra; agat — he went; purim — to the city; agneyim — the city of the fire-god; nairṛtim — the city of the subordinate god of death (Nirṛti, who is distinct from Lord Yama); saumyam — the city of the moon-god; vayavyam — the city of the wind-god; varunim — the city of the god of the waters; agnim — fire; ......

Not seeing the brahmaṇa's child there, Arjuna went to the cities of Agni, Nirṛti, Soma, Vayu and Varuṇa. With weapons at the ready he searched through all the domains of the universe, from the bottom of the subterranean region to the roof of heaven. Finally, not having found the brahmaṇa's son anywhere, Arjuna decided to enter the sacred fire, having failed to keep his promise. But just as he was about to do so, Lord Krishna stopped him and spoke the following words.

The samhitas referred to are not Vedic Samhita, of any shakha of the four vedas. They can at best come under 'agama' just as the 'soota samhitaa' of Shaivaite tradition. In order to embellish the value, later 'acharya's have attributed divine origin, by composing hymns in Sanskrit and 'thaniyan' in Tamil.

Nonetheless the theological importance of these scriptures can not be minimised.

As for the worship of 'sudarshana chakra' which is beautifully described in Tamil as 'sudar aazhi' by aazhvaars, as well as Saint Arunagirinathar, it is part of worship of everything associated with the Lord, especially the five weapons, the Panchajanya conch, Nandakii sword, Sudarshana Chakra, Kaumotaki club and Shaarnga, bow. (Panchaayudha stotram is not only tinged in piety but also beautiful poesy).

Of these, 'Sudarshana chakra' has become more prominent because of Puranic legends, especially the Ambareesha charitram and the Mahabharata legends relating to Shishpala vadh and Jayadrath Vadh.

After the scholarly answer of Srividya Rajagopalanji, to the earlier question, I did not feel like adding any footnote.However, I would like to state that to my knowledge the form associated with 'Sudarshana' is "Jvaalaa Nrisimha" and not "Yoga Nrisimha".

The three versions of Sudarshana gayatri in vogue evidence this:

सुदर्शनाय विद्महे महाज्वालाय धीमहि

तन्नश्चक्रः प्रचोदयात्

नमस्चक्राय विद्महे सहस्रज्वालाय धीमहि

तन्नस्सुदर्शनः प्रचोदयात्

सुदर्शनाय विद्महे हेतिराजाय धीमहि

तन्नश्चक्रः प्रचोदयात्

The Moolamantra "KrishNaaya Govindaaya" has different versions differing with each other and the very language evidences post-puranic tradition.

However the "sahasraara " beeja mantra has vedic tradition in-built, but not traceable to any Vedic Samhita.

Deification of 'Aayudha' with specific roopa and consort (vijayavalli) appears to be a process of evolution of Srivaishnavaite traditions post eleventh century. However, tradition of worship of anything that is associated with or anything that is offered to the Lord has been there in earlier traditions also.

Note: In many Shrivaishnavaite temples, where Sudarshana Homa is conducted, I have found mispronunciation as 'tanno chakraH' , ot 'tanno sudarshanaH' due to lack of grammatical knowledge.

Note: The Tripaad Vibhuti NarayaNa Upanishad prescribes elaborate procedure for Sudarshana Homa, but I have not come across even one performance in the past over two decades, strictly in conformity.

Note: I get pained to see denominational differences coming in the way of recital of the sublime and rhythmic lyrics of Sri Sudarshanashtakam by Sri Vedanta Desikar, in some temples.
