Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 5, Ch. 7]
the heart, jñānīs worship the impersonal Brahman as the Supreme Absolute Truth, and devotees worship Vāsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose transcendental body is described in the śāstras. His body is decorated with the Śrīvatsa, the Kaustubha jewel and a flower garland, and His hands hold a conchshell, disc, club and lotus flower. Devotees like Nārada always think of Him within their hearts.
PURPORT
Lord Vāsudeva, or Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the son of Vasudeva, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is manifest within the hearts of  yogīs  in His Paramātmā feature, and He is worshiped as impersonal Brahman by  jñānīs . The Paramātmā feature is described in the  śāstras  as having four hands, holding disc, conchshell, lotus flower and club. As confirmed in the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (2.2.8):
kecit sva-dehāntar-hṛdayāvakāśe prādeśa-mātram puruṣam vasantam catur-bhujam kañja-rathāṅga-śaṅkha- gadā-dharam dhāraṇayā smaranti
Paramātmā is situated in the hearts of all living beings. He has four hands, which hold four symbolic weapons. All devotees who think of the Paramātmā within the heart worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the temple Deity. They also understand the impersonal features of the Lord and His bodily rays, the Brahman effulgence.
