मातङ्ग–शक्रसंवादः
Mataṅga–Śakra Dialogue on Tapas, Status, and Moral Qualities
इयं गज्नेति नियतं प्रतिष्ठा गुहस्य रुक्मस्य च गर्भयोषा । प्रातस्त्रिवर्गा घृतवहा विपाष्मा गड़ावतीर्णा वियतो विश्वतोया
iyaṃ gaṅgeti niyataṃ pratiṣṭhā guhasya rukmasya ca garbhayoṣā | prātas trivargā ghṛtavahā vipāśmā gaṅgāvatīrṇā viyato viśvatoyā ||
若有人笃定宣言“此即恒河”，并使他人得以瞻礼，则可获得圣母婆伽罗提所赐之确定而不坏的归依。她是神圣之河，孕藏天将室建陀（古诃/斯甘达）亦孕藏黄金；她倾注清净、滋养如酥油之流，能除罪垢。自天而降至地，其水为普世所宜饮。黎明时于她中沐浴，可成就人生三义——达摩、阿尔塔与迦摩。
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Recognizing the Gaṅgā as sacred and guiding others to her darśana is itself meritorious; her dawn-bath is praised as purifying and as supporting the three legitimate aims of worldly life—dharma, artha, and kāma—thus linking devotion and ethical living with ritual purity.
A Siddha extols the greatness of the Gaṅgā (Bhāgīrathī), describing her heavenly descent, her sin-destroying waters, and the spiritual and worldly benefits gained by showing her to others and bathing in her at dawn.
