All these five special weapons of Vishnu have personified forms also. So as a divine being Sudarshana basically dwells in Vaikuntha serving Sri Mahavishnu. At the same time, he follows Vishnu wherever he goes.
In this manner in all the Vishnu shrines in the world, the infinite power of Sudarshana is pervasive with a view to serving the God of the Gods.
Devotional Aspect
