Hauma Hamiddha Ji, Sundereshwarji, and others,
Brahmakhand chapter of Sri Skanda Purana, talks about the importance Ramasetu. I have one doubt about one sUkta, which says this:
... यसà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¥à¤¿ सà¥à¤¤à¥à¤®à¤§à¥à¤¯à¥ तॠसà¥à¤¥à¤¾à¤ªà¤¿à¤¤à¤® पà¥à¤¤à¥à¤°à¤ªà¥à¤¤à¥à¤°à¤à¥à¤...
(...whose bones are established/immersed in mid of the setu by the son or grandson...)
so, doesn't सà¥à¤¤à¥à¤®à¤§à¥à¤¯à¥ literally mean in MIDDLE of setu? Or by "setumadhye", sUkta refers to Rameshwaram? If it does literally mean 'mid of setu', then is there any record of such a tradition of asthi-visarjanam (immersing the last ashes)?
Quick response highly appreciated.
