Shloka 93
इस प्रकार तेरे और नर-नारायणके जन्म, कर्म, तप और योग पर्याप्त हैं। नर-नारायणने शिवलिंगमें तथा तूने प्रतिमामें प्रत्येक युगमें महादेवजीकी आराधना की है ।। सर्वरूपं भवं ज्ञात्वा लिड़्े योडर्चयति प्रभुम् । आत्मयोगाश्च तस्मिन् वै शास्त्रयोगाश्च शाश्वता:,जो भगवान् शंकरको सर्वस्वरूप जानकर शिवलिंगमें उनकी पूजा करता है, उसमें सनातन आत्मयोग (आत्मा-परमात्माके तत्त्वका ज्ञान) तथा शास्त्रयोग (स्वाध्यायजनित ज्ञान) प्रतिष्ठित होते हैं
sarvarūpaṃ bhavaṃ jñātvā liṅge yo 'rcayati prabhum | ātmayogāś ca tasmin vai śāstrayogāś ca śāśvatāḥ ||
Vyāsa said: “Knowing Bhava (Śiva) to be the One whose form is all forms, whoever worships that Lord in the liṅga becomes firmly established in the eternal disciplines: the yoga of the Self—direct insight into the reality of ātman and paramātman—and the yoga of the scriptures—wisdom born of study and sacred learning. Thus, across the ages, devotion grounded in right understanding ripens into enduring spiritual knowledge.”

Educational Q&A
True worship of Śiva is grounded in right understanding: recognizing him as the all-form Lord. Such devotion stabilizes two enduring paths—ātmayoga (inner realization of the Self and the Supreme) and śāstrayoga (wisdom cultivated through disciplined study).
Vyāsa explains the spiritual fruit of Śiva-worship, especially worship in the liṅga, linking it to lasting yogic attainments. The verse functions as a doctrinal affirmation within the broader Drona-parvan discourse, highlighting devotion and knowledge as mutually reinforcing.
