मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
अपहत्य तमस्तीव्रं यथा भात्युदये रवि: । तथापहत्य पाप्मानं भाति गड़ाजलोक्षित:
apahatya tamas tīvraṃ yathā bhāty udaye raviḥ | tathā apahatya pāpmānaṃ bhāti gaḍājalokṣitaḥ ||
Как солнце на восходе сияет, разогнав густую тьму, так и тот, кто омылся в водах Гады, становится светозарным, уничтожив свои грехи.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that moral impurity (pāpmāna) can be removed through purificatory practice associated with a sacred water (Gaḍā-jala), resulting in renewed radiance and auspiciousness—symbolized by the sun dispelling darkness.
A Siddha is praising the efficacy of bathing in Gaḍā’s sacred water, using a vivid comparison: as sunrise breaks dense darkness, so the bather’s sins are destroyed and he becomes spiritually bright.
