What is the spiritual significance of this verse in Narada Purana?

It emphasizes Vedanga–Vyakarana as a support-discipline: precise knowledge of verbal roots safeguards mantra-meaning and correct recitation, which in turn stabilizes dharma-practice and moksha-oriented study.

Indirectly: bhakti is nourished when names, mantras, and praises are understood and pronounced correctly; this technical listing underlines the scriptural view that disciplined language-knowledge protects devotional practice from error.
