Yes, indeed, you have given a good example of "kaisA chakkar chalAyA re, shyAm teri ungali ne" although ShyAm did not "send" Sudarshan Chakra. Sudarshan as His devotee, servant and pArshad went after durvAs muni on his own.
There are numerous such examples and the best place to find them is shrimad bhAgvat mahApurAN. However, the magic of ShyAm's finger is not restricted to the itihAs purAN alone. It continues even today and devotees see its grace.
For those who haven't read bhAgvat or the paurANic itihAs,
The story of Ambarish Maharaj (his devotion and devotional attitude), DurvAs Muni being hard on him for no fault of his, and the Lord's Sudarshan Chakra (Discus) following Durvas Muni ... can be found in
Shrimad BhAgvat purAN Canto 9 Chapters 4 and 5. What is interesting is that the Sudarshan Chakra followed DurvAs Muni in all lokas till he finally reached VaikunTha and asked NArAyaN for forgiveness, but the Lord said, "Not Me, you have to ask Ambarish to forgive you." Ambarish was a devotee and held no grudge against Durvas muni despite the tough situation he put him in. King Ambarish forgave durvAs muni and the Sudarshan Chakra whose heat was burning Durvas muni stopped instantly.
jaya jaya sudarshana jaya jaya sudarshana
om namo nArAyaNAya
om namo bhagavate vAsudevAya
