# Lanka Kand · Doha 2

**चौ०** 
> सैल बिसाल आनि कपि देहीं। कंदुक इव नल नील ते लेहीं॥  
> देखि सेतु अति सुंदर रचना। बिहसि कृपानिधि बोले बचना॥ १ ॥

**चौ०** 
> परम रम्य उत्तम यह धरनी। महिमा अमित जाइ नहिं बरनी॥  
> करिहउँ इहाँ संभु थापना। मोरे हृदयँ परम कलपना॥ २ ॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि कपीस बहु दूत पठाए। मुनिबर सकल बोलि लै आए॥  
> लिंग थापि बिधिवत करि पूजा। सिव समान प्रिय मोहि न दूजा॥ ३ ॥

**चौ०** 
> सिव द्रोही मम भगत कहावा। सो नर सपनेहुँ मोहि न पावा॥  
> संकर बिमुख भगति चह मोरी। सो नारकी मूढ़ मति थोरी॥ ४ ॥

Meaning: The monkeys brought huge mountains, which were received like playballs by Nala and Nīla. When the All-merciful, Śrī Rāma, saw the exceedingly beautiful construction of the bridge, He smiled and observed thus: (1)

“This is a most delightful and excellent spot; its glory is immeasurable and cannot be described in words. I will install an emblem of Lord Śiva here: it is the crowning ambition of My heart.” (2)

Hearing this, Sugrīva, the lord of the monkeys, despatched a number of messengers, who invited and escorted all the great sages. Having installed an emblem of Lord Śiva and worshipped It with due solemnity, Śrī Rāma said, “No one else is so dear to Me as Śiva.(3)

“An enemy of Śiva, although he may call himself a devotee of Mine, cannot attain Me even in a dream. He who is opposed to Śaṅkara and yet aspires for devotion to Me is doomed to perdition, stupid and dull-witted as he is. (4)

**दो०** 
> संकरप्रिय मम द्रोही सिव द्रोही मम दास।  
> ते नर करहिं कलप भरि घोर नरक महुँ बास॥ २ ॥

Meaning: “Men, who, though devoted to Śaṅkara, are hostile to Me and, even so, those who are enemies of Śiva but votaries of Mine, shall have their abode in the most frightful hell till the end of creation. (2)
