Smt Sumithra Varadarajan, Thank you for the nice postings that you are sending. Although I do not read all your postings, this particular posting interest me as you have beautifully quoted from Srimad Ramayana's Yuddha Kanda whereby the vanaras were busy constructing the bridge and the beautiful narration of the effort contributed by the squirrel towards the construction of the bridge. In your postings you mentioned that Neelan(Amsa of vishvakarma) is the great monkey engineer who is planning the construction of the bridge. I assume it was a typing error. It was not NEELAN but NALAN who as an amsa of Vishvakarma who engineered the contruction of the bridge. Neelan however, an amsa of agni deva. This is confirmed in Valmiki Ramayana, even in Bala kanda Chapter 17 as follows:- The Lord of Wealth mangement, Kubera's son is Gandhamaadana, the effulgent monkey, while Vishvakarma, the Divine Architect procreated the great monkey called Nala. The bright son of Agni, God of Fire is Neela whose blaze is fire-like and in resplendence, reputation and courage... he is a meritorious monkey.
