Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
यावदस्थि मनुष्यस्य गड्ातोयेषु तिष्ठतति । तावद्वर्षसहस्त्राणि स्वर्गलोके महीयते,मनुष्यकी हड्डी जितने समयतक गड्ाजीके जलमें पड़ी रहती है, उतने हजार वर्षोंतक वह स्वर्गलोकमें प्रतिष्ठित होता है
yāvad asthi manuṣyasya gaṅgā-toyeṣu tiṣṭhati | tāvad varṣa-sahasrāṇi svarga-loke mahīyate ||
悉达者宣说：只要一人的骨骸仍留在恒河之水中，他便在天界受尊崇、受抬举，如此延续千千年。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that contact of human remains (asthi) with the sacred waters of the Gaṅgā is believed to generate enduring posthumous merit, resulting in prolonged honor in heaven—highlighting the ethical-religious value placed on tīrtha (holy places) and proper end-of-life rites.
A Siddha (a perfected being) is speaking, describing the spiritual consequence of a person’s bones remaining in the Gaṅgā’s waters: the duration of that contact is poetically equated with thousands of years of exalted status in Svarga.
