tvām evānye śivoktena

bahv-ācārya-vibhedena
bhagavantarn upāsate
tvam -- You; eva -- also; anye -- others; siva -- by Lord Siva; uktena -- spoken; margena -- by the path; siva-rupinam -- in the form of Lord Siva; bahu-acarya -- of many teachers; vibhedena -- following the different presentations; bhagavantam -- the Supreme Lord; upasate -- they worship.
There are still others, who worship You, the Supreme Lord, in the form of Lord Siva. They follow the path described by him and interpreted in various ways by many teachers.
The words tvam eva, "You also," indicate that the path of worshiping Lord Siva is indirect and therefore inferior. Akrura himself is following the superior method by directly worshiping Krishna, or Vishnu, with his prayers.
