Inner Meaning
Sisupala is eternal enemy of Krishna. At every stage in his life Krishna was dominating. At very young age Krishna took away his third eye and 2 extra hands. With 3rd eye and 4 hands he is almost equal to Krishna. From that day onwards he hated kirshna.
Rukmini's parents wanted to marry Rukmini to Krishna but Rukmi, her brother strongly opposed it. Rukmi was an ambitious prince and he did not want to earn the wrath of Emperor Jarasandha, who was ruthless. Instead, he proposed that she be married to his friend Shishupala, the crown prince of Chedi. Shishupala was also a vassal and close associate of Jarasandha and hence an ally of Rukmi.
Rukmini sends a secret message to Krishna to come take and marry her. Being bhagavan he came fought and took her away.
When Yudhisthira want to give yaga palam to Krishna. It enraged Sisupala and started scolding him in bad words. As per Mahabharath Krishna tolerated 100 bad words. In reality it was 108.
Now you must be familiar why 108. It also points to 1+0+8=9 and the same way to keep up with Vyasa 18 or 9 and Upasarga Anantha Brahmandam, the Vishnu Sahastra Naamam is 1008=1+0+0+8=9 not 1000. My 108th slokam fulfills the missing 8 Vishnu naamas.
The sudharshana Chakra is 360/108= 3.3333... To explain one of the concepts this scene is narrated in the epic. As I said if you understand the inner concepts and meaning, you know the cosmic secrets.

The story of Shishupala
He was born with four hands and three eyes
Shishupala was born to king of Chedi. He was born with four hands and three eyes. His parents and relatives were scared of him and decided to cast him out. But they were warned by a invisible voice from the heaven…O king, your son will be fortunate and superior in strength, don’t be scared of him indeed cherish him without anxiety.His extra hands and eye will disappear in the lap of the person who will kill him.
Shri Krishna takes him in his lap
So his parents called all the kings of the world to Chedi and put the child on each of their their laps to see which one would be the slayer. Finally Krishna and Balarama (who were children at the time) came, as they were nephews of the queen of Chedi. (The queen of Chedi was the sister of Krishna’s father Vasudeva). As soon as Krishna put Shishupala in his lap, Shishupala’s extra arms fell off and his third eye disappeared indicating Shishupala’s death was destined at the hands of Krishna.
Shri Krishna promises to spare him for hundred times
Seeing that Shri Krishna will be the one who will cause Shishupala’s death, his mother started weeping and asking Lord to not to kill her son. In the Mahabharata, Shishupala’s mother was given a vow by Krishna, her nephew, that he would pardon his cousin a hundred times and he will kill him when he exceeds the limit.
Shishupala was earlier Hiranyakashyap
Shishupala fought with Krishna many times, once when Krishna eloped with Rukmini who was betrothed to him, and defeated the combined armies of Shishupala and Rukmini’s brother Rukmi.Sage Narada reminded Krishna that while he had previously (in the form of Narsingh avatar) killed Hiranyakashyap, the demon has been reborn as Shishupala and must be destroyed again.
End of Shishupala at Yagya of Yudhishthir
Once Yudhisthir, elder brother of Pandava was organised a famous Rajasuya yagya. Hee invited many kings and princes. Shishupal too was invited. When Shishupal saw Krishna there he began hurling abuses at Krishna. Krishna remained quite. Finally, when Shishupal uttered his hundredth abuse, Krishna turned to him, took his sudarshan chakra and flung it towards Shishupal. The chakra slashed Shishupala’s head and the crowed cheered.
