Thanks BhV, sure will do.... It would be even better if you can send me a short write up -- a brief intro of the source, author, dating & location, background, and context of the reference to ramasetu. (If possible for you.)
I remember you had once sent me a link to a very good Hindi translation of madhuravijayam of Gangadevi, which I had partly read and much liked. Surely that era of Hindu history was the most recent golden page of Hindu history where bravery and scholarship had almost literally been wedded together. The wisdom & beauty of the women of vijayanagaram must have matched in full the bravery and might of its men -- if Gangadevi is any sample to go by.
