BRIDGE TO LANKA.
there is a problem arose. how could the huge vaanara army cross the great ocean safely?lakshmana, sugrivaand vibheeshana discussed the matter,they adviced rama to pray to varuna, the god of the ocean, for help. rama agreed to pray to varuna,to make a passage way to lanka for three days.nothing happened. rama became angry. he shot a powerful arrow into the water. a radiant Begin emerged from the water. it was the god of the ocean, varuna.he stood before rama with folded hands and said''o lord rama!i cannot change my nature which is fast, deep and unconquerable to part the waters of the ocean and make a passage for you! but i will help you and will hold the bridge you construct. every log and stone will be most suitable for a bridge!''
rama understood and accepted varuna's guidance, nala, the son of the great viswakarma, built the bridge. the vaanaras enthusiastically brought might trees, huge boulders and rocks to the seashore.then the huge army crossed the ocean to lanka.
and then rama asked the vaanara warrior leaders to send angada to ravana's court.accordingly, angada went to ravan's court.
