मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः

Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities

न सा प्रीतिर्दिविष्ठस्थ सर्वकामानुपाश्रत: । सम्भवेद्‌ या परा प्रीतिर्गड्राया: पुलिने नृूणाम्‌

na sā prītir diviṣṭhasthaḥ sarvakāmānupāśrataḥ | sambhaved yā parā prītir gaṅgāyāḥ puline nṛṇām ||

Niềm vui ấy không thể đạt được—dẫu là người ở cõi trời, hưởng đủ mọi khoái lạc. Hỷ lạc tối thượng mà con người nhận được khi sống trên những bãi cát ven sông Hằng (Gaṅgā) thuộc về một bậc cao hơn, vượt hẳn mọi lạc thú thiên giới.

Educational Q&A

Spiritual joy born of proximity to a sacred tīrtha (the Gaṅgā) and a dharmic way of life is portrayed as superior to pleasure-based happiness, even the refined enjoyments of heaven.

A Siddha is praising the unique, unsurpassed delight and merit associated with dwelling on the banks of the Gaṅgā, contrasting it with the limited nature of heavenly enjoyment dependent on sense-pleasures.
