Amazon EC2 link to Bigrock domain name

I have a simple question for pointing my Bigrock Domain name to Amazone EC2.
I have Created HostedZone from Hostedzone-create link
I got 4 name servers.
Now what?
Suppose my domain name is example.com on Bigrock.com.
Can anyone explain me how can i point that domain name to EC2?
I asked to Bigrock support but they told me something like this:

The website is not working because the DNS zone for your domain is not configured properly on your Hosting providers DNS servers ( AWS Server ). Please get in touch with your provider for further assistance.

But I am not getting what they want to say. Please help!!

Now, you will go to your bigrock.com and find your domain. Change the default name servers information with that 4 name servers information provided by Route53 on amazon. save your changes and wait for few hours to be activated properly.

To move your Name Servers to AWS Route 53 first you have to change the Name Servers in Bigrock follow this steps.

http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/dns-name-servers/how-to-change-name-servers-with-bigrock

Once that is done go to AWS Route 53 and create two record sets one for the "naked domain" and another for "www" domain and add a A-Record to point to the EC2 IP address (Be Sure the IP address is Elastic just in case for future change in IP address of the server so that you are covered).

This is Route 53 Guide
