तथोक्त्वा योगमास्थाय ज्योतिर्भूतो महातपा: । पुराणं पुरुषं विष्णुं जगाम मनसा परम्,वे महातपस्वी द्रोण पूर्वोक्त बात कहकर योगका आश्रय ले ज्योतिः:स्वरूप परब्रह्मसे अभिन्नताका अनुभव करते हुए मन-ही-मन सर्वोत्कृष्ट पुराणपुरुष भगवान् विष्णुका ध्यान करने लगे
tathoktvā yogam āsthāya jyotir-bhūto mahātapāḥ | purāṇaṃ puruṣaṃ viṣṇuṃ jagāma manasā param ||
ಹೀಗೆ ಹೇಳಿ ಮಹಾತಪಸ್ವಿಯಾದ ದ್ರೋಣನು ಯೋಗವನ್ನು ಆಶ್ರಯಿಸಿದನು. ಜ್ಯೋತಿರೂಪನಾದಂತೆ 되어, ಮನಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದಲೇ ಪರಮ ಪುರಾಣಪುರುಷನಾದ ವಿಷ್ಣುವನ್ನು ಸೇರಿದನು.
