मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
अपहत्य तमस्तीव्रं यथा भात्युदये रवि: । तथापहत्य पाप्मानं भाति गड़ाजलोक्षित:
apahatya tamas tīvraṃ yathā bhāty udaye raviḥ | tathā apahatya pāpmānaṃ bhāti gaḍājalokṣitaḥ ||
Như mặt trời lúc bình minh rực sáng sau khi xua tan bóng tối dày đặc, cũng vậy, người tắm trong nước Gaḍā trở nên rạng ngời khi đã diệt trừ tội lỗi của mình.
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that moral impurity (pāpmāna) can be removed through purificatory practice associated with a sacred water (Gaḍā-jala), resulting in renewed radiance and auspiciousness—symbolized by the sun dispelling darkness.
A Siddha is praising the efficacy of bathing in Gaḍā’s sacred water, using a vivid comparison: as sunrise breaks dense darkness, so the bather’s sins are destroyed and he becomes spiritually bright.
