मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
यो वत्स्यति द्रक्ष्यति वापि मर्त्य- स्तस्मै प्रयच्छन्ति सुखानि देवा: । तद्धभाविता: स्पर्शनदर्शनेन इष्टां गतिं तस्य सुरा दिशन्ति
yo vatsyati drakṣyati vāpi martyaḥ tasmai prayacchanti sukhāni devāḥ | taddhāva-bhāvitāḥ sparśana-darśanena iṣṭāṃ gatiṃ tasya surā diśanti ||
ಗಂಗೆಯ ತೀರದಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುವ ಅಥವಾ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಕೇವಲ ನೋಡುವ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಗೂ ದೇವರುಗಳು ಸುಖಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವಳ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶ ಮತ್ತು ದರ್ಶನದಿಂದ ಶುದ್ಧನಾಗಿ ಭಾವಿತನಾದವನಿಗೆ, ಗಂಗೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ಮಹಿಮೆ ಪಡೆದ ದೇವರುಗಳು ಇಷ್ಟವಾದ ಶುಭಗತಿಯನ್ನು ಸೂಚಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ/ಕೊಡುತ್ತಾರೆ।
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Reverent association with the sacred—here expressed as dwelling near, seeing, and touching the Gaṅgā—purifies a person and draws divine support, culminating in a desired auspicious destiny. The verse links external sacred contact to inner transformation (bhāva) and ethical uplift.
A Siddha is describing the fruit (phala) of Gaṅgā-related pilgrimage and devotion: humans who reside by or behold the river receive happiness from the gods, and those purified by her touch and sight are guided by the gods toward their wished-for spiritual end.
