मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
उत्क्रामद्िश्व यः प्राण: प्रयत: शिष्टसम्मत: । चिन्तयेन्मनसा गड़ां स गतिं परमां लभेत्,जो साधु पुरुषोंद्वारा सम्मानित तथा संयतचित्त मनुष्य प्राण निकलते समय मन-ही-मन गंगाजीका स्मरण करता है, वह परम उत्तम गतिको प्राप्त कर लेता है
utkrāmadiśva yaḥ prāṇaḥ prayataḥ śiṣṭa-sammataḥ | cintayen manasā gaṅgāṃ sa gatiṃ paramāṃ labhet ||
The Siddha said: A disciplined person, esteemed by the virtuous, who—at the moment the life-breath departs—remembers the river Gaṅgā within the mind, attains the highest state.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
At life’s final moment, a disciplined and ethically respected person who fixes the mind on the sacred Gaṅgā gains the highest posthumous destiny; inner purity and final remembrance are presented as decisive.
A Siddha delivers an instruction about the time of death: when the prāṇa departs, mental recollection of Gaṅgā—supported by a life of restraint and good conduct—leads to the supreme gati.
