What Verse 14 is showing us

One devotional arc: Lord Vishnu reaches into every atom of creation (Sarvagah), illuminating existence with omniscient radiance (Sarvavidbhanuh). As Vishvaksena (Vishvaksenah), He scatters the armies of ignorance and darkness, tenderly relieving the distress of all who call upon Him (Janardanah). He is the eternal knowledge of the Vedas (Vedah), the foremost scholar of sacred lore (Vedavit), and flawless in perfection (Avyangah). With the scriptures forming His very limbs (Vedangah), He penetrates the innermost heart of Vedic truth (Vedavit) and envisions the timeless tapestry of creation as the ancient, all-seeing seer (Kavih).
