Meaning
A learned play. The commentary explains that Viṣṇu has two heart-lotuses: the one in his breast, and the outer one from which Brahmā sprang and on which he sits. Good people likewise have the heart's own lotus, and within that one a second, the opened lotus of peace. A delicate idea: peace is a heart within the heart.
