Salutations to Lord Venkatesa with thousands of heads displayed during His Visvaroopam to Arjuna , Agathya (Vaamana Puraanam ) and other bhakthaas !  This Visvaroopam contained all that constituted the innumerable universes and galaxies and sported innumerable heads, eyes and feet.
 
This tirunaamam is a direct derivation from the Purusha Sukta vaakya, "Sahasra Seersha Purusha:", the word "Sahasram" referring to innumerability, rather than to a mere thousand.
 
All the comments made in respect of "Anata charanaya nama: ,  Ananthaakshaaya nama:"  hold good for this naama too.

The Vishnusahasranama Stotra too confirms that the Lord has not merely innumerable heads and feet, but countless forms as well, to go with the former--"ananta roopa:"
