Who are the 32 deities that are present along with Sudarshana Azhvar at Srirangam? Swami Desikan had also hailed Jaya Jaya Sree Sudarshana 32 times in his Sudarshana Ashtakam. Please clarify is there a link between the number 32 and Sudarshana Azhwar.

Sudarshana Azwar, Heteeshwarar, king of all weapons, is gracing by holding 8, 16, 32 weapons.
Some scriptures state that Chakratazhwar can be consecrated with 8, 16, or 32 weapons. Based on this Chakaratazhwar of Srirangam is consecrated with 32 weapons.
Thirty-two deities could be thirty-two deities of Chakaratazhwar’s weapons. Each one of them is Nitya suris, they adorn weapons and render service to Perumal like Sudarshana Azhwar.
It can be inferred that the primary deity Sudarshana Azhwar of Srirangam is surrounded by deities of his weapons.
Notes:
Sudarshana Azhwar is present with eight arms carrying eight weapons to declare that he is the king of all weapons. Number 8 is a characteristic sign.
Number 32 is very special in our tradition. Vedas, Itihasas, and Puranas talk about their greatness.
Hetipungavastavam written by Nadadur Ammal has 32 lines, each line begins with the word Jaya.
Swami Desikan had followed this style and has mentioned Jaya 32 times in his Sudarshanashtakam. Each sloka ends with the word Jaya four times and for eight slokas, it is repeated for a total of 32 times, say our elders.
