मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
पूर्णमिन्दु यथा दृष्ट्वा नृणां दृष्टि: प्रसीदति । तथा त्रिपथगां दृष्टवा नृणां दृष्टि: प्रसीदति
pūrṇam induṃ yathā dṛṣṭvā nṛṇāṃ dṛṣṭiḥ prasīdati | tathā tripathagāṃ dṛṣṭvā nṛṇāṃ dṛṣṭiḥ prasīdati ||
Gaya ng pagtanaw ng tao sa kabilugan ng buwan na nagpapayapa sa mata at isipan, gayon din kapag nakita ang Tripathagā—ang Ilog Gaṅgā—ang paningin ay sumisigla at nalilinis.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches the purifying and uplifting power of darśana: certain sacred and auspicious sights—like the full moon and the Gaṅgā—naturally calm the senses and clarify one’s inner perception, supporting a dharmic disposition.
A Siddha is praising the spiritual benefit of seeing the Gaṅgā, using a familiar analogy: just as the full moon delights the eyes, the sight of the Tripathagā Gaṅgā brings immediate serenity and joy to people.
