It is worth noting that the heart lotus is called adhaḥ-mukha, "facing downward." This detail is constant in these books and is explained thus: in an ordinary person the heart lotus is folded and lowered, like a flower at night; and at concentration it unfolds upward. The image, to my mind, is beautiful and understandable to anyone: the heart is described as a flower that is either open or closed.
Let us add the word haṃsa-kalā, "the portion of the swan." Of the word haṃsa it was said when reading the Varāha (5.52): it means at once the breath, the soul, and the renunciant, and the swan is credited with the ability to separate milk from water. In the heart is placed precisely a portion of the swan, not the swan itself; that is, in the heart is placed a part of what in its entirety is higher up.
The Vaiṣṇava side has its own word about the heart, and it is worth citing, for it is its chief position on dwelling-place. By its teaching, the paramātmā, "Supreme Self," dwells in the heart, and dwells together with the soul; and the image of two birds on one tree, discussed when reading the Muṇḍaka (3.1.1), is precisely a picture of this. That is, in the heart there is not one portion but two; and the whole difference between the two readings of the heart circle is whether one finds there a part of oneself or another.
