Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
अप्रतिष्ठाक्ष ये केचिदर्धर्मशरणाश्ष ये । तेषां प्रतिष्ठा गड़ेह शरणं शर्म वर्म च
apratiṣṭhākṣa ye kecid adharma-śaraṇāś ca ye | teṣāṁ pratiṣṭhā gaṇeśaḥ śaraṇaṁ śarma varma ca ||
អ្នកណាខ្លះដែលគ្មានទីពឹងនៅទីណាមួយ ហើយអ្នកណាខ្លះដែលមិនបានចូលជ្រកក្រោមធម៌—សម្រាប់ពួកគេ គង្គានេះហើយជាគ្រឹះដ៏មាំមួន ជាទីជ្រក ជាសេចក្តីសុខសាន្ត និងជាខែលការពារ ដូចអាវុធពាក់កាយដែលរក្សាពួកគេឲ្យសុវត្ថិ។
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even those who lack worldly support and have not yet taken shelter in dharma are not beyond protection; divine guardianship (here, Gaṇeśa) is portrayed as providing foundation, refuge, welfare, and protective strength—encouraging a turn toward dharma and trust in higher support.
A Siddha is praising Gaṇeśa’s protective role, describing him as the support and shelter for the unsupported and the non-dharma-seeking, emphasizing his power to secure well-being and guard beings like armor.
