The aa.lvaar might be implying that the ultimate objective of the 
vedas is to teach total surrender (zaraNaagati) to Zriiman-naaraayaNa only.

[BTW, the six vedaangas are:
     Ziksha - phonetic science
     VyaakaraNa - grammar
     Nirukti - context (conclusive meaning)
     Cchandas - meter
     Jyotisha - time science (astronomy & astrology)
     Kalpa - rituals 
]
