1701. When Rāma went to bring back his wife Sita,
and shot his arrows at the ocean
making Varuna the god of the sea come to aid him,
the monkeys in the Kishkinda forest
built a bridge over the ocean with stones and trees and helped him
as the spray from the ocean rose to the sky.
Thirumāl who as Rāma with the monkey army entered Lankā,
the kingdom of the cruel Rākshasa king Rāvana,
stays in Thirukkannapuram. Let us go there and worship him.
