Pañcāvaraṇa-mārga Stotra to Yogeśvara Śiva
बहुभिः किं स्तुतैरत्र ये ऽपि के ऽपिचिदास्तिकाः । सर्वे मामनुगृह्णंतु संतः शंसंतु मंगलम्
bahubhiḥ kiṃ stutairatra ye 'pi ke 'picidāstikāḥ | sarve māmanugṛhṇaṃtu saṃtaḥ śaṃsaṃtu maṃgalam
یہاں بہت سی ستوتیوں کا کیا فائدہ؟ جو بھی کسی طرح آستِک ہیں، وہ سب مجھ پر کرپا کریں؛ اور صالح لوگ مَنگل کا اعلان کریں۔

It teaches that spiritual life is not perfected by verbosity in praise alone; what truly matters is āstikya (faith) and the blessing of the sādhus, which ripens devotion and leads the seeker toward Shiva’s grace.
Linga-worship is fulfilled when outer stuti is joined with inner reverence and faith; the verse points from mere speech to lived devotion, through which the auspicious presence of Saguna Shiva is realized in worship.
Keep worship simple and sincere: offer a brief stuti, then do japa of the Panchakshara (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and seek the blessings of saints/elders, concluding with a maṅgala-prārthanā (prayer for auspiciousness).
