सैल बिसाल आनि कपि देहीं । कन्दुक इव नल नील ते लेहीं ॥
देखि सेतु अति सुन्दर रचना । बिहसि कृपानिधि बोले बचना ॥
saila bisāla āni kapi dehīṃ | kanduka iva nala nīla te lehīṃ ||
dekhi setu ati sundara racanā | bihasi kṛpānidhi bole bacanā ||

What happens in this chapter
Shri Rama installs Shiva at Rameshwaram
Nala and Nila catch the great rocks like balls. Seeing the fine work, Shri Rama smiles and says this land is supremely beautiful, its glory beyond telling, and here he will establish Shambhu; this is the great wish of his heart. Sugriva sends messengers who bring all the best of the munis. Shri Rama installs the linga and worships it with full rites. Then he declares that none is as dear to him as Shiva. One who calls himself Rama's devotee yet opposes Shiva never pleases him, even in a dream; one who turns from Shankara and still seeks devotion to Rama is foolish and bound for hell. The doha adds that those who love Shankara yet oppose Rama, or serve Rama yet oppose Shiva, dwell a kalpa in hell.
परम-रम्य उत्तम यह धरनी । महिमा अमित जाइ नहिँ बरनी ॥
करिहउँ इहाँ संभु थापना । मोरे हृदयँ परम-कलपना ॥
parama-ramya uttama yaha dharanī | mahimā amita jāi nahim̐ baranī ||
karihaum̐ ihām̐ saṃbhu thāpanā | more hṛdayam̐ parama-kalapanā ||
सुनि कपीस बहु दूत पठाये । मुनिबर सकल बोलि लेइ आये ॥
लिङ्ग थापि विधिवत करि पूजा । सिव समान प्रिय मोहि न दूजा ॥
suni kapīsa bahu dūta paṭhāye | munibara sakala boli lei āye ||
liṅga thāpi vidhivata kari pūjā | siva samāna priya mohi na dūjā ||
सिव-द्रोही मम भगत कहावा । सो नर सपनेहुँ मोहि न भावा ॥
सङ्कर-विमुख भगति चह मोरी । सो नारकी मूढ़ मति थोरी ॥
siva-drohī mama bhagata kahāvā | so nara sapanehum̐ mohi na bhāvā ||
saṅkara-vimukha bhagati caha morī | so nārakī mūr̤ha mati thorī ||
सङ्कर प्रिय मम द्रोही, सिव द्रोही मम दास ।
ते नर करहिं कलप भरि, धोर नरक महँ बास ॥
saṅkara priya mama drohī, siva drohī mama dāsa |
te nara karahiṃ kalapa bhari, dhora naraka maham̐ bāsa ||
