Comment:-
Sarvatahpanipadam tat:- As there are, various scripts in ink and various ornaments in gold, the Lord has His hands and feet everywhere. Therefore, He accepts all offerings from all quarters made to Him physically, or mentally. Moreover. His hands are ever ready to protect devotees, from all the dangers everywhere.
He has his feet everywhere, and so he accepts the sandal-paste, flowers and prostradons etc., offered by devotees, according to their feelings. If thousands and lacs of devotees, adore the Lord's feet, separately at a time, the Lord's feet are present then and there, according to the sentiments of devotees.

It means, that he who beholds the Lord, present everywhere, He is never out of his sight (Gita 6/30).
