Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
ख्यातिर्यस्या: खं दिवं गां च नित्यं पुरा दिशो विदिशश्चवावतस्थे । तस्या जल सेव्य सरिद्वराया मर्त्या: सर्वे कृतकृत्या भवन्ति
khyātir yasyāḥ khaṃ divaṃ gāṃ ca nityaṃ purā diśo vidiśaś caivāvatiṣṭhe | tasyā jalaṃ sevya saridvarāyā martyāḥ sarve kṛtakṛtyā bhavanti ||
她的名声自古以来遍满虚空、天界与大地，并恒常安立于一切方与方隅。饮那至上之河——圣母薄伽梵蒂·婆伽罗提（恒河）之水，则一切凡人皆得圆满，如已成就真正应作之事。

The verse praises Bhāgīrathī (Gaṅgā) as universally renowned and spiritually efficacious: contact with or partaking of her waters is presented as a means of purification and completion of religious aims, making a person ‘kṛtakṛtya’—one who has fulfilled what is truly required in life.
A Siddha (perfected being) speaks in a laudatory, tirtha-mahātmya style, extolling the sanctity and fame of the river Bhāgīrathī and asserting the transformative merit gained by mortals who drink her waters.
