मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
सर्वाणि येषां गाड़ेयैस्तोयै: कार्याणि देहिनाम् । गां त्यक्त्वा मानवा विप्र दिवि तिष्ठन्ति ते जना:
sarvāṇi yeṣāṃ gāḍeyais toyaiḥ kāryāṇi dehinām | gāṃ tyaktvā mānavā vipra divi tiṣṭhanti te janāḥ ||
ਹੇ ਵਿਪ੍ਰ! ਜਿਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਦੇਹਧਾਰੀ ਜੀਵਨ ਦੇ ਸਾਰੇ ਕੰਮ ਗੰਗਾ-ਜਲ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਸੰਪੰਨ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਮੌਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਧਰਤੀ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਸਵਰਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਟਿਕਦੇ ਹਨ।
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
A life of disciplined purity and austerity—symbolized here by fulfilling one’s bodily needs through a sanctifying water-based regimen—produces spiritual merit that leads to heavenly attainment after death.
A Siddha addresses a brāhmaṇa and states a doctrinal point: certain practitioners whose embodied duties are completed through a specific austere practice involving water, upon dying, leave the earth and dwell in heaven.
