He stopped the vimana at this juncture because he felt at this place the “BrahmaasthiDosham” was not following him. He ascended from the vimana and asked God Shiva for a remedy. God Shiva
blessed Lord Rama and advised him installing and praying four lingams at Manavari, Thiru Koneshwaram, Thiru Ketheshwaram and Rameshwaram in India, as the only remedy to get rid of the dosham.
