Who is Acchoda?

Acchoda was Satyavati in her previous birth. She belonged to the clan of ancestors called Barhishada Pitrus. She did intense tapas and the Pitrus appeared before her. But she got attracted towards one among them. When the ancestors realized this, they cursed her to take birth on earth as Satyavati. She got relief from the curse after she married King Shantanu and gave birth to two sons. Then she returned to Pitruloka and is now worshiped as Ashtaka.

How was Sudarsana chakra made?

Viswakarma's daughter Samjna was married to Surya. She could not bear his heat and complained to her father. Viswakarma put Surya under his grinder and removed one-eighth of him. From this powder were made Sudarshana chakra, Shiva's Trishoola, Subrahmanya's spear, and Pushpaka vimana. During Khanadva dahana, Agni gave Sudrsana to Krishna.
