Then spake the king of brooks and seas
To Raghu’s son in words like these:
“Now let a wondrous task be done
By Nala, Viśvakarmá’s son,
Who, born of one of Vánar race,
Inherits by his father’s grace
A share of his celestial art.
In plain words: The god of the Ocean speaks to Rama, the son of the Raghu family. He says that Nala, a monkey who is the son of Vishvakarma, the builder of the gods, has inherited some of his father's heavenly building skill.
