मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
लोकानवेक्ष्य जननीव पुत्रान् सर्वात्मना सर्वगुणोपपन्नान् । तत्स्थनकं ब्राह्ममभीप्समानै- गज़ा सदैवात्मवशैरुपास्या
lokān avekṣya jananīva putrān sarvātmanā sarvaguṇopapannān | tat-sthanakaṁ brāhmam abhīpsamānaiḥ gaṅgā sadaivātma-vaśair upāsyā ||
母が子らを慈しみの眼差しで見守り、護るように、ガンガーもまた、全身全霊をもって、あらゆる徳を具え、彼女に帰依した諸世界を憐れみの眼で見つめ、守護を与える。ゆえに梵界(ブラフマンの世界)を望む者は、自らを制し心を統べ、母なる思いをもって常にガンガーを礼拝すべきである。
सिद्ध उवाच
The verse teaches that sincere worship of Gaṅgā, performed with self-mastery (control of mind and senses) and a maternal attitude of trust and reverence, supports the aspirant’s higher spiritual aim—here expressed as attaining Brahmaloka—because Gaṅgā protects and nurtures her devotees like a mother protects her children.
A Siddha describes Gaṅgā’s divine role: she compassionately watches over the worlds and especially those who take refuge in her, protecting them as a mother would. On that basis, he instructs seekers of the Brahman-world to worship her continually with disciplined minds.
