Adipurana... Where the Umagnajala river enters the Sindhu river, flowing alongside the Nimagnajala river, which also flows into the Sindhu, the army of the emperor reached that place. ||21|| Emperor Bharateshwara, having stationed his army on the banks of both rivers, observed the disparity between them with curiosity. ||22|| One, the Nimagnajala, swiftly carries down wood and other objects, while the other, the Umagnajala, quickly throws everything upwards. Although they are opposites, they somehow meet at the Sindhu river. ||23|| Pondering how to cross these rivers, the emperor swiftly summoned his architect, the Silavat Ratna. ||24|| Seeing the water of both rivers rising and falling, the Silavat Ratna, with a mere glance, considered them as insignificant as a handful of water. ||25|| He understood that the Umagnajala river is pushed upwards by the great wind residing beneath it, and the Nimagnajala river is pulled downwards by the great wind residing above it. ||26|| Thinking that there is no other way to build a bridge over these two rivers, the Silavat Ratna, like a skilled physician, began the process of constructing a bridge. ||27|| He summoned, through his divine power, the great trees from the uninhabited forests. (Meaning: He summoned the great trees from the dense forests through his subordinate deities.) ||28|| Using strong wood, he erected sturdy pillars within the water and built a bridge over them. ||29|| Fearing that the army would suffer due to the long time it would take, the Silavat Ratna, a man of great intellect, built the bridge in an instant, following the emperor's command. ||30|| As the bridge was completed, the army rejoiced with a clamor, and at that very moment, the entire army of the emperor crossed over to the other side of the rivers. ||31||
