सर्वतः पाणिपादं तत्सर्वतोऽक्षिशिरोमुखम्।सर्वतः श्रुतिमल्लोके सर्वमावृत्य तिष्ठति॥
sarvataḥ pāṇi-pādaṃ tat sarvato ’kṣi-śiro-mukhamsarvataḥ śrutimal loke sarvam āvṛtya tiṣṭhati
Word by word
The verse says
Hands and feet everywhere, eyes and heads and faces everywhere, ears everywhere — it stands, covering everything in the world.
In plain words
Everywhere, five times in two lines.
The image is of a body with no particular location, which is not an image anybody can actually form.
And that is deliberate. The last chapter made a reader feel this. This one states it flatly.
Where you've felt this · in community
A rumour in a small town has no source anybody can find. Everyone heard it from somebody. Ask four people and you get four different second-hand accounts, all of them certain, none of them first. The thing is unmistakably present and it is nowhere in particular.
Going deeper
The same image appeared in Chapter 11 and it did something entirely different there.
When Arjuna saw faces turned in every direction, he could not stand it. The vision gave him nowhere to be that was not being met. Here the identical idea is stated in a calm line, and it reads as presence rather than exposure.
The difference is not in the content. It is that one was seen and the other is being described.
That gap is worth knowing about. A great deal of religious language is survivable precisely because it is language. The same thing, encountered directly, was more than the man in the previous chapter could hold — and this chapter, written in the flattest voice in the book, is describing exactly what undid him.
