कूर्माग्नी शांतिबिंद्वाढ्यौ वह्नि जायांकुशं ध्रुवम् । ऋषिः पूर्वोदितोनुष्टुप्छंदोऽन्यत्पूर्ववत्पुनः ॥ ९५ ॥

It emphasizes disciplined mantra-practice: knowing the ṛṣi and chandas anchors a mantra in its revealed tradition, ensuring the recitation is aligned with śāstra and yields steadiness (dhruvatā) and peace (śānti) in ritual aims.
Indirectly: by prescribing correct mantra-context (ṛṣi and Anuṣṭubh metre), it supports orderly worship where devotion is expressed through accurate recitation and ritual procedure rather than improvisation.
Chandas (Vedic prosody): it specifies Anuṣṭubh as the metre and indicates that other technical items (like viniyoga/nyāsa conventions) follow earlier instructions—typical of Vedanga-style ritual manuals.
