Brahmacārin-Dharma: Guru-Sevā, Daily Vedic Study, Gāyatrī-Japa, and Anadhyāya Regulations
छिद्राण्येतानि विप्राणांये ऽनध्यायः प्रकीर्तिताः / हिंसन्ति राक्षसास्तेषु तस्मादेतान् विवर्जयेत्
chidrāṇyetāni viprāṇāṃye 'nadhyāyaḥ prakīrtitāḥ / hiṃsanti rākṣasāsteṣu tasmādetān vivarjayet

Indirectly: it emphasizes disciplined conduct (niyama) as a protective framework for sacred practice; steadiness in dharma supports clarity (sattva) in which knowledge of Atman can arise.
It highlights restraint and timing in sacred recitation—an aspect of niyama and mantra-discipline. Avoiding anadhyāya preserves the sanctity and efficacy of svādhyāya (scriptural recitation/study).
Not explicitly; it reflects the Purana’s synthesizing ethos by grounding higher spiritual aims in shared dharma (discipline, purity, right practice) that underlies both Shaiva and Vaishnava paths.
