This boon from Viśvakarmá won:

“O Mandarí, thy child shall be

In skill and glory next to me.”

But why unbidden should I fill

Thine ear with praises of my skill?

Command the Vánar hosts to lay

Foundations for the bridge to-day.”

He spoke: and swift at Ráma's hest

Up sprang the Vánars from their rest,

The mandate of the king obeyed
