• cakreṇa — with the disc
  Instrumental of cakra. Sudarśana, the Lord's eternal weapon, named 'su-darśana' — that by which true seeing is enforced. It removes the head of mis-seeing in one motion.
• kṣura-neminā — with razor-edged rim
  Kṣura (razor) + nemi (rim of a wheel). The cakra's rim is sharper than razors. The compound underscores that Vidūratha did not survive even one revolution.
• jahāra — removed
  Perfect of √hṛ (to take, carry off). The same root in Hari (the remover). Kṛṣṇa as Hari removes Vidūratha's head as He removes the heart's bondage — direct, immediate, total.
• kirīṭam — crown
  The asura wore his kingship to the end. Note: Kṛṣṇa Himself is Kirīṭa-mālī, garlanded with crowns — He does not need Vidūratha's. The crown falls with the head.
• kuṇḍalam — earring
  Earrings (kuṇḍala) are an iconographic mark of royal-divine status — also worn by Karṇa, Pradyumna, Kṛṣṇa Himself. Vidūratha's kuṇḍala falls; the Lord's makara-kuṇḍala sways on, unharmed.

Sudarśana means 'good vision' — and it removes the head, the seat of misvision. Helmet and earrings fall with it: all the ornaments of asuric self-image gone in one stroke. The disc that takes Vidūratha's head is the same disc that protects Ambarīṣa; one weapon, two faces of grace.
