मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
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 ||
Ang nagnanais na maging mabunga ang kaniyang kapanganakan, buhay, at maging ang kaniyang banal na pag-aaral ay dapat lumapit sa Gaṅgā at, sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang tubig, maghandog ng tarpaṇa—mga pagbubuhos ng tubig na nagbibigay-kasiyahan—sa mga diyos at sa mga ninuno.
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.
