SrI cinmayAnanda gives the interpretation that He has this nAma since He
lives in every living entity asthe jIva-entity. He supports his interpretation
with a reference to the gItA Slokam 18-61:

155
(gItA18. 61)
"The Lord, O arujuna, abides in the heart of every being, spinning them round
and round, mounted on a wheel as it were, by His power".
The gItA bhAshyam for this Slokam by bhagavad rAmAnuja indirectly
supports this interpretation by the useof the name vASu-deva for bhagavAn in
this context - "ISvarahsarva-niyamana-Seelo vAsu-devah sarva-bhUtAnAm
hRd-deSe sakala-pravRtti-nivRttimUla-j~nAnodaye deSe tishThati".
