 The 62nd Naamam of SrI VenkatEsa AshtOttharam:
 *****************************************
 Yogi-Hrudh-Padhma-mandirAya Nama:

 One who has His abode in the heart lotuses of Yogis.

 BhAgavatha PurANam says: " Hrudhi tishtathi yOgInAm " (The Lord sits in the hearts of yOgis).

AzhwAr describes His presence in the hearts of yOgis: " uLLuvAr uLLatthu uLan kaNDAi " .

 This Lord , who resides in the hearts of yOgis is none other than VenkatEsan according to the AzhwAr and he goes on to say: " VeLLatthin uLLAnum Venkatatthu mEyAnum uLLatthil uLLAn enRu ohr " ( Please understand Him as the same one resting in the milky ocean , on top of Venkatam hills and inside the heart lotus of yOgis).

 Yogis are very dear to the Lord and He sits with great affection inside the heart lotus of the Yogis and treats that space as His Temple . He arrives with MahA Lakshmi and His throne , AdhisEshan to take His seat inside the heart lotus of the Yogis .PeriyAzhwAr describes this scene inside his heart lotus , where he visualizes the Lord with SrI Devi seated on the AdhisEshan :

YemmanA yenn kuladhaivamE yennudaya NaayakanE
ninnuLLEnAi peRRa nanmai ivvulahinil aar peRuvAr ?
--PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi: 5.4.3

(Meaning ): My Lord ! My Kula dhaivam ! Oh SrinivAsa ! I have gained the soubhAgyam of having you inside my heart lotus. Who in this world  can claim that kind of MangaLam ?

"aravatthamaLiyinODum azhahiya pARRkkadalOdum
 Aravindhap-pAvayum thAnum aham padi vanthu puhunthu--"
--PeriyAzhwAr Thirumozhi: 5.2.10

Here, PeriyAzhwAr visualizes the Lord as KsheerAbdhi Naathan with Sri Devi resting on His bed of AdhisEshan inside his heart .
