Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
य इच्छेत् सफलं जन्म जीवितं श्रुतमेव च । स पितुृंस्तर्पयेद् गाड्रमभिगम्य सुरांसतथा,जो अपने जन्म, जीवन और वेदाध्ययनको सफल बनाना चाहता हो वह गंगाजीके पास जाकर उनके जलसे देवताओं तथा पितरोंका तर्पण करे
ya icchet saphalaṁ janma jīvitaṁ śrutam eva ca | sa pitṝṁs tarpayet gāṅgram abhigamya surāṁs tathā ||
Sesiapa yang ingin menjadikan kelahirannya, kehidupannya, dan bahkan pembelajaran sucinya benar-benar berbuah hendaklah pergi ke Gaṅgā dan, dengan airnya, mempersembahkan tarpaṇa—curahan air pemuasan—kepada para dewa dan para leluhur.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Sacred learning and human life become truly meaningful when expressed through dharmic action—especially gratitude to ancestors and reverence to the gods—performed here through tarpaṇa at the Gaṅgā.
A Siddha gives prescriptive counsel: one who seeks the ‘fruit’ of birth, life, and Vedic study should go to the Gaṅgā and perform tarpaṇa offerings to both devas and pitṛs, presenting ritual duty as a completion of learning.
