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,जो मनुष्य गंगाजीके तटपर निवास और उनका दर्शन करता है उसे सब देवता सुख देते हैं। जो गंगाजीके स्पर्श और दर्शनसे पवित्र हो गये हैं उन्हें गंगाजीसे ही महत्त्वको प्राप्त हुए देवता मनोवाञ्छित गति प्रदान करते हैं
yo vatsyati drakṣyati vāpi martyaḥ tasmai prayacchanti sukhāni devāḥ | taddhāva-bhāvitāḥ sparśana-darśanena iṣṭāṃ gatiṃ tasya surā diśanti ||
यो वत्स्यति द्रक्ष्यति वापि मर्त्यस्तस्मै प्रयच्छन्ति सुखानि देवाः । तद्भाविताः स्पर्शनदर्शनेन इष्टां गतिं तस्य सुरा दिशन्ति ॥
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.
