मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
गड़ोर्मिभिरथो दिग्ध: पुरुषं पवनो यदा । स्पृशते सो<स्य पाप्मानं सद्य एवापकर्षति,गंगाकी तरंगमालाओंसे भीगकर बहनेवाली वायु जब मनुष्यके शरीरका स्पर्श करती है, उसी समय वह उसके सारे पापोंको नष्ट कर देती है
gaṅgormi-bhir atho digdhaḥ puruṣaṁ pavano yadā | spṛśate so ’sya pāpmānaṁ sadya evāpakarṣati ||
Khi ngọn gió thấm ướt bởi những làn sóng của sông Hằng (Gaṅgā) chạm vào thân người, ngay tức khắc nó kéo đi và tiêu diệt mọi tội lỗi của người ấy.
सिद्ध उवाच
Association with the sacred—especially the Gaṅgā—has immediate purificatory power; even indirect contact (wind carrying Gaṅgā’s moisture) is portrayed as capable of removing sin, reinforcing faith in tīrtha-purification and moral renewal.
A Siddha states a praise of the Gaṅgā: the breeze that has been wetted by her waves, upon touching a person, instantly removes that person’s pāpa (sin/impurity).
