मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
उत्क्रामद्िश्व यः प्राण: प्रयत: शिष्टसम्मत: । चिन्तयेन्मनसा गड़ां स गतिं परमां लभेत्
utkrāmadiśva yaḥ prāṇaḥ prayataḥ śiṣṭa-sammataḥ | cintayen manasā gaṅgāṃ sa gatiṃ paramāṃ labhet ||
Dijo el Siddha: El hombre disciplinado, estimado por los virtuosos, que en el instante en que se retira el aliento de vida recuerda en su mente al río Gaṅgā, alcanza el estado supremo.
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.
