In order to cross the ocean, they decided to build a bridge across it. The monkey armygot busy in this activity by using rocks and boulders. At that time, the squirrels in the nearby forest also decided to help Sri Rama's endeavor.They jumped into the ocean and made their bodies wet; came back to the beach and rolled in the sand; then they went back on the boulders and shook the sand from their bodies in the gaps betweenthe rocks. Their hope was to help drain the ocean by making theirbodies wet and help build the bridge by adding sand to it.Thondaradippodi Azhvar celebrated their service to the Lord inhis Thirumaalai pasuram:kurangugaL malaiyai nUkka kuLiththuth thAm puraNdittOditharanga nIr adaikkaluRRa salamilA anilum pOlEn Thirukkolur Ammal is asking "Did I do divine service by goingbehind the monkeys (anu yAtra) like the squirrels did?"
