Chapter -4– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Lanka Kanda – The glorious journey of Vanaras and bears on the mighty bridge constructed across the ocean

 

The rocks thrown into the ocean waters were floated because of the grace of Lord Sri Ramachandra, hence those who worship demigods leaving Lord Sri Raghu are dull-witted. The construction of the huge bridge was completed at a fast pace and the merciful-Lord Sri Ramachandra was glad to see the progress of the work. The numerous armies of Vanaras and bears obediently marched on the mighty bridge looking forward to crossing the ocean, producing deafening roars was beyond description. Lord Rama ascending on the vast bridge observed the vastness of the sea, at that moment, all the aquatic creatures appeared on the surface of the waters to get a glimpse of the Lord who is the ocean of mercy, thus they have achieved the fruitfulness of their lives. The ocean infested with giant aquatic creatures, wale, alligators, crocodiles, various species of fishes, from various sizes gazed at Lord Raghu without blinking their eyes, achieved extreme bliss watching the mesmerizing form of Lord Raghu, eventually disappeared under the water in a state of ecstasy. The army of Vanaras and bears marched towards the other side of the ocean was beyond description.
