Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
भूस्थै: स्वःस्थैर्दिविष्ठै क्ष भूतिरुच्चावचैरपि । गड्जा विगाह्मया सततमेतत् कार्यतमं सताम्
bhūsthaiḥ svaḥsthair diviṣṭhaiś ca bhūtīr uccāvacair api | gaṅgāyāṃ vigāhya satatam etat kāryatamaṃ satām ||
Tous les êtres—ceux qui demeurent sur la terre, ceux qui sont établis au ciel et ceux qui résident dans les régions célestes—grands et petits sans distinction, doivent sans cesse s’immerger dans la Gaṅgā. Tel est l’acte le plus excellent des vertueux.
