RAMA SETU in Valmiki Ramayana

Nala constructed a magnificent bridge of 100 Yojanas over the Ocean

1.अयं सौम्य नलो नाम तनयो विश्वकर्मण:
पीत्रा दत्तवर: श्रीमान प्रितिमान विश्वकर्मण:
एवं सेतुं महोत्साह: करोतु मयि वानरः

The sea God said, Sri Rama th8
This Glorious Son of
Vishwakarma Nala by named has
been granted by his father a boon of proficiency in all craft & is full of love for you.Let Nala who is full of zeal build a bridge over me
2.अहं सेतुं करिष्यामि विस्तीर्णें मकरालये:
पितु: सामर्थ्यमासाध्य तत्वमाह महोदधि
Nala said Acquiring the skill
of my father,I shall build a bridge over the extensive deep sea.I m Vishwakarma's Son sprung from his own lions & am like him in workmanship. Let the bulls among Vanaras collect the material for the bridge this very day.I m undoubtedly capable of constructing a bridge over sea
3.Directed by Shri Rama the leaders of Vanaras with full joy sprang into the extensive forest on every side.They filled the sea with Sal,Aswakarna,Dhava,BambooKutajaArjuna,BilvaPalmyra,Tinisa Saptaparna,Mango & Ashoka tree.

4.They bring different shrubs & rock as big as elephant
hurled them into sea.Some Vanaras drew up strings in order to keep the rock in a straight line.

5.Nala constructed the extensive bridge, a Hundred Yohanas long in the heart of the sea. The aforesaid bridge was being built at that time in co-operation of Vanaras
6. Some seized hold of staff for measuring the length & breadth of the bridge.

7. The very first day 14 Yojanas were
set up
second day--20 Yojanas
The 3rd day-- 21 Yojanas
Forth day- 22 Yojanas
Fifth day-- 23 Yojanas were cover right upto the Mount Suvela.
In this way Nala the foremost Vanara ,the glorious offering of Vishwakarma along with the Vanara Sena set up a bridge across the sea.
This lovely glorious bridge looked charming like the milky way in space.

The Devata & Ganfharvas gazed on the bridge constructed by Nala which
was Ten Yojanas wide and hundred Yojanas long which was exceedingly difficult to construct for others.

The Rama Setu length & breadth ratio is 10:1 even today.
There are many tectonic & geological changes have been taken place from the time of Ramayana till dates.
