About the fours arms of Lord Vishnu
In Purana, Lord Vishnu is described as four armed holding Conch, Discus, Lotus and Mace. Every arm has its own representation with the thing which he holds.
In lower right hand which represents the creative tendency or revolving,
Vishnu holds the Conch as a symbol of the five elements.
In upper right hand which represents the cohesive tendency
Vishnu holds the Discus (Chakra, Wheel) as a symbol of the mind and shining like the sun.
In upper left hand which represents the tendency towards liberation and dispersion
Vishnu holds the Lotus as a symbol of the causal power of illusion, from which the world rises.
In lower left hand which represents the notion of individual existence
Vishnu holds the Mace as a symbol of primal knowledge also represents the elemental force from which all mental and physical powers derive.
The Conch (SHANKH) is named as “PANCHJANYA”.
PANCHJANYA is the fountain evolving the five elements,
Water, Fire, Air, Earth and Sky (or space).
When the Conch is blown it makes a sound.
This is associated with primal sound from which first creation developed.
Like Shiva, Vishnu was originally a minor deity with only five out to 1,028 hymns addressed to him, in the Rig Veda.
