मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
अलंकृतास्त्रयो लोका: पथिभिविंमलैस्त्रिभि: | यस्तु तस्या जल॑ सेवेत् कृतकृत्य: पुमान् भवेत्
alaṅkṛtās trayo lokāḥ pathibhir vimalais tribhiḥ | yas tu tasyā jalaṁ seveta kṛtakṛtyaḥ pumān bhavet ||
Три мира украшены тремя её безупречно чистыми путями — небом, подземными областями и землёй. Всякий, кто вкушает воду той реки, становится человеком, исполнившим назначение жизни, ибо такое соприкосновение считается очищающим и доводящим до полноты религиозное стремление.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches the purificatory and spiritually completing power attributed to Gaṅgā: since her pure flow is said to pervade the three worlds, contact with her water is presented as a dharmic act that brings a person to ‘kṛtakṛtyatā’—a sense of having fulfilled one’s religious and moral aims.
A Siddha (perfected being) is praising the sanctity of Gaṅgā in a tirtha-mahātmya context, describing her threefold course through the cosmic realms and declaring that one who partakes of her water attains the status of having accomplished what is to be accomplished.
