Sri Kannan,

I posed this question to Prof. M. S. Rangachari in Tiruvalikkeni, and here is 
what I have learned -

According to the AzhwArs, Sri LakshmiNarasimhan is identified as One Who 
removes the obstacles that 
stand in the way of His Devotees.  In this case obstacles are identified as 
those things that prevent 
devotees from obtaining the peace that comes by thinking about Him.  Such an 
ability is the Lord's 
Alone, and He bestows this gift on Whomever He Deems requires it.  All other 
beings serve as instruments 
that are used by Him to bring this about. ChakrathAzhwAr in particular serves 
in this way.

Over the centuries, however, many people have attributed this quality to Sri 
Sudarshana independently, 
and have worshipped him for material and spiritual benefits.  Perhaps, to prove 
that this is not the 
case, and that the True Agent is the Lord Alone, the Lord appears in this 
unique form.

I hope this adds to this interesting conversation.
