Adhyathma Ramayanam - Esamskriti.com

When the bed was formed with hundred yojanas length
And ten yojanas broad , Rama, son of Dasaratha ,
Who is the God of the universe, established,
At a holy time a statute of Sankara , the divine god,
Who has sky as his hair and called that God as Rameswara ,
For destroying sins and for the good of the world,
Worshipped saluted and saluted on the ground with devotion,
And that lotus eyed one told.
Any man who comes here with respect ,
And after seeing this bridge and worships ,
This God Rameswara , he would get rid of,
Sins like Brahmahathyaa , become greatly pure ,
And due to my blessings will get salvation, definitely.”
After taking bath by dipping near this bridge ,
And after seeing and saluting Lord Shiva who is Rameswara,
If one gets purified and without any laziness ,
Goes to Varanasi , take bath in Ganga , without tiredness ,
Bring the water of Ganges with great respect,
And anoint Rameswara with that water ,
And throw away all their they luggage in the sea,
And takes bath there , would without doubt,
Get salvation from me.
Rama told thus and all people saluted and served Rameswara,
And after that Nala the son of Viswakarma ,
Started building the bridge with confidence ,
Immediately using mountain, stones and trees ,
First day fourteen yojanas were completed ,
Next day another twenty yojanas were completed,
And on the third day Twenty one yojanas were built,
And on the fourth day it became twenty two,
And on the fifth day it was twenty three yojanas,
And thus within five days , hundred yojanas of the bridge was built ,
Without any problems and after completing it,
The monkeys walked over the bridge ,
And without any worries started crossing over to Lanka.
