पयस्विनीं घृतिनीमत्युदारां समृद्धिनीं वेगिनीं दुर्विगाह्माम् । गड्डां गत्वा यै: शरीर विसूष्टं गता धीरास्ते विबुधै: समत्वम्
payasvinīṃ ghṛtinīm atyudārāṃ samṛddhinīṃ veginīṃ durvigāhyām | gaṅgāṃ gatvā yaiḥ śarīraṃ visṛṣṭaṃ gatā dhīrās te vibudhaiḥ samatvam ||
សិទ្ធៈបាននិយាយថា៖ បុរសមានចិត្តមាំមួនទាំងឡាយ ដែលបានទៅដល់ទន្លេគង្គា—ទឹកសដូចទឹកដោះគោ លំហូរលោងដូចឃី (ghee) មានមហាករុណា បង្កើនសម្បត្តិ លឿន ហើយពិបាកឆ្លង—ហើយនៅទីនោះបានបោះបង់រាងកាយរបស់ខ្លួន ពួកគេបានឈានដល់សមភាពជាមួយទេវតា។
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steadfastness (dhairya) combined with reverent approach to a sacred tīrtha is praised as leading to exalted spiritual attainment; the verse presents the Gaṅgā as supremely purifying and merit-bestowing, so that those who relinquish the body there are said to reach a divine status.
A Siddha describes the Gaṅgā in highly auspicious metaphors (milk- and ghee-like, bountiful, swift, hard to ford) and declares the फल (result): resolute men who go to her and abandon the body there attain equality with the gods.
