(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 22)
• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama building a bridge across the ocean to Lanka.• Sri Rama building a bridge across the ocean: According to the wish of Sri Rama the vanaras started building a bridge joyfully, and were presided over by Nala. The vanaras brought huge rocks and trees and threw them over the ocean. Making large ropes out of reeds they tied over the rocks to hold them. On the first day fourteen yojanas of bridge was constructed. On the second day twenty yojanas of bridge was constructed. On the third day twenty one yojanas of bridge was constructed. On the fourth day twenty-two yojanas of bridge was constructed. On the fifth day twenty-three yojanas of bridge was constructed up to the sea shore. The celestials saw that wonder bridge from the firmament constructed by Nala and praised Sri Rama.
