વ્યાસને નિશ્ચિત અંકથી ગુણતાં વર્તુળાંગ (પરિધિ) મળે છે. વ્યાસનું માન નખાંત અંગુલ-વિસ્તારથી જાણવું; અને ફરી લંબાઈ વેધ-અંગુલ એકમોથી ગુણ કરીને ગણવી.
Narada (teaching in a technical-ritual context within Moksha Dharma)

It highlights that Dharma is supported by precision: correct measurement and accepted standards safeguard ritual order, which in turn steadies the mind for Moksha-oriented discipline.
Indirectly: Bhakti in the Purana is not opposed to method; careful, rule-based practice (when worship involves rites) is presented as a way to offer worship without negligence.
Practical measurement and computation—using aṅgula-based units and an accepted approximation for relating diameter and circumference—knowledge akin to Śulba/kalpa-style technical procedure used in ritual settings.
