मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
यस्तु सूर्येण निष्टप्तं गाड़ेयं पिबते जलम् । गवां निहरिनिर्मुक्तादू यावकात् तद् विशिष्यते
yastu sūryeṇa niṣṭaptaṃ gāḍeyaṃ pibate jalam | gavāṃ nihariniḥmuktād yāvakāt tad viśiṣyate ||
جو شخص سورج کی کرنوں سے تپایا ہوا، گہرے منبع کا گاڑھا پانی پیتا ہے، اس کا یہ پانی پینا گوبر سے جدا کیے گئے جو کے دلیے کو کھانے سے بھی بڑھ کر پاکیزگی عطا کرتا ہے۔
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Inner and practical purity can be achieved through simple disciplined habits; drinking sun-warmed water from a proper source is presented as more purifying than a contrived or extreme food practice involving barley recovered from cattle-dung.
A Siddha (accomplished ascetic) is instructing about comparative merit and purification, ranking everyday acts of restraint and cleanliness above unusual or showy practices, thereby guiding ethical living and ascetic discipline.
