Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
गड़ोर्मिभिरथो दिग्ध: पुरुषं पवनो यदा । स्पृशते सो<स्य पाप्मानं सद्य एवापकर्षति,गंगाकी तरंगमालाओंसे भीगकर बहनेवाली वायु जब मनुष्यके शरीरका स्पर्श करती है, उसी समय वह उसके सारे पापोंको नष्ट कर देती है
gaṅgormi-bhir atho digdhaḥ puruṣaṁ pavano yadā | spṛśate so ’sya pāpmānaṁ sadya evāpakarṣati ||
Lorsque le vent, humidifié par les vagues de la Gaṅgā, touche le corps d’un homme, il arrache et détruit aussitôt son péché.

Educational Q&A
Association with the sacred—especially the Gaṅgā—has immediate purificatory power; even indirect contact (wind carrying Gaṅgā’s moisture) is portrayed as capable of removing sin, reinforcing faith in tīrtha-purification and moral renewal.
A Siddha states a praise of the Gaṅgā: the breeze that has been wetted by her waves, upon touching a person, instantly removes that person’s pāpa (sin/impurity).
