खरवेंदुरामविहतं मानं द्रोणादिवारिणः । विस्तारायामवेधानांमंगुल्योन्यनाडिघ्नाः ॥ ५३ ॥
kharaveṃdurāmavihataṃ mānaṃ droṇādivāriṇaḥ | vistārāyāmavedhānāṃmaṃgulyonyanāḍighnāḥ || 53 ||

It emphasizes that dharma and ritual discipline require precision—standardized measures prevent error and preserve the integrity of offerings and sacred procedures.
Bhakti is supported by careful practice: when offerings and observances are performed with correct standards, devotion is expressed as attentive, disciplined service (sevā) rather than mere sentiment.
It highlights technical standardization used in ritual contexts—liquid measures (droṇa and related units) and spatial measures (aṅgula-based units for width, length, and depth), aligning with applied Vedāṅga-style precision (especially Śikṣā/kalpa-adjacent practice).
