Good post.  
 
"shrutitdvidhan tu yastrastyAt tatra dharmAvubhausmrutA" ie., when viruddha in shruti-vAkya is seen, both should be accepted as per adhikAra lakSaNa. 
 
It is something similar to the vAkya *ahar-ahar sandhyAM upAsIta*.  
 
Even though sandhyA-kAla is only 3, with the sandhyavandana in 3 kAlAs, the objective is to attain such a state of upAsana which continues *taila dhAravat*. 
 
However, arthavaada may not be the right choice to use here.  
 
regs,
sriram
