Shrivatsa

श्रीवत्स

Shrivatsa is the mark upon the Lord's chest. At SB 3.8.28 He is described 'hAreNa cha ananta-dhanena vatsa shrI-vatsa-vakShaH-sthala-vallabhena' — with the necklace of boundless wealth, which is dear to the Shrivatsa on the chest. Note that 'ananta-dhana' here means boundless wealth and not the naga Ananta, so no epithet row was added to Sesa.
