Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
तथा त्वमपि कौन्तेय भक््त्या परमया युत: । गड्भामभ्येहि सतत प्राप्स्यसे सिद्धिमुत्तमाम्,कुन्तीनन्दन! इसी प्रकार तुम भी पराभक्तिके साथ सदा गंगाजीकी उपासना करो। इससे तुम्हें उत्तम सिद्धि प्राप्त होगी
tathā tvam api kaunteya bhaktyā paramayā yutaḥ | gaṅgām abhyēhi satataṁ prāpsyase siddhim uttamām ||
Wahai putra Kunti, demikian pula engkau—dengan bhakti tertinggi—senantiasa mendekat dan memuja Gangga; dengan itu engkau akan memperoleh siddhi yang utama.

Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that steady, supreme devotion expressed through continual reverence for the sacred Gaṅgā leads to the highest siddhi—an elevated spiritual fulfillment and auspicious success grounded in dharma.
In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhishma is instructing the son of Kuntī on dharmic conduct and meritorious observances; here he specifically urges ongoing worship/approach to Gaṅgā as a powerful, sanctifying practice that yields the best outcome.
