In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Source: Prabhupada Books: Sri Caitanya Caritamrta

Setubandha (सेतुबन्ध).—According to Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta, Madya-lila 9.199, “Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then went to Setubandha [Rāmeśvara], where He took His bath at the place called Dhanustīrtha. From there He visited the Rāmeśvara temple and then took rest”.

The island of Pambam is about eleven miles long and six miles wide. On this island, four miles north of Pambam Harbor, is Setubandha, where the temple of Rāmeśvara is located. This is a temple of Lord Śiva, and the name Rāmeśvara indicates that he is a great personality whose worshipable Deity is Lord Rāma. Thus the Lord Śiva found in the temple of Rāmeśvara is a great devotee of Lord Rāmacandra.

Setubandha (सेतुबन्ध) is the name of a Prakrit kāvya composed by Pravarasena II during the reign of Sarvasena during the Vākāṭakas (mid-3rd century CE).—Pravarasena II of the Senior branch of the Vākāṭaka family distinguished himself by the composition of Prakrit poetry. He is the reputed author of the Prakrit kāvya Setubandha, also called Rāvaṇavaho, in the Mahārāṣṭrī Prakrit.

The Sētubandha has for its theme the epic story of Rāma from his advance against Rāvaṇa and the building of a bridge of stone to Laṅkā to his return to Ayodhyā after the extermination of the demon king. The work is divided into fifteen cantos called āśvāsas, and contains 1362 verses. The prevailing metre is Skandhaka, but verses in other metres also are interspersed in the middle and also added at the end of each canto.

The Setubandha is composed in an artistic style considered suitable for a mahākāvya, with the use of puns and long compounds. It was plainly written for a public which was well versed in Sanskrit, and contains a description of all the topics considered essential in a Sanskrit mahākāvya. It has been highly praised by Sanskrit poets and rhetoricians. Bāṇa says in his Harṣacarita that by means of this Sētu (i.e. Sētubandha) the fame of Pravarasena crossed the ocean, as the army of monkeys had done before by means of the bridge (of Rāma)
