Karunanidhi Krishna dasa

vitarasi diksu rane dik-pati-kamaniyam
dasa-mukha-mauli-balim ramaniyam
kesava dhrta-rama-sarira jaya jagadisa hare

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who haze assumed the form of
Ramacandra! All glories to You! In the battle of Lanka You destroy the
ten-headed demon Ravana and distribute his heads as a delightful offering to
the presiding deities of the ten directions, headed by Indira. This action was
long desired by all of them, who were much harassed by this monster.

Padma Purana

rama rameti rameti

rame rame manorame

sahasra-namabhis tulyam

rama-nama varanane

 

rama—Rama; rama—Rama; iti—thus; rama—Rama; iti—thus; rame—I enjoy; rame—in the holy name of Rama; manah-rame—most beautiful; sahasra-namabhih—with the one thousand names; tulyam—equal; rama-nama—the holy name of Rama; vara-anane—O lovely-faced woman.

 

" 'Lord Siva addressed his wife Durga as Varanana and explained, "I chant the holy name of Rama, Rama, Rama and thus enjoy this beautiful sound. This holy name of Ramacandra is equal to one thousand holy names of Lord Visnu."'

 

Brahmanda Purana

sahasra-namnam punyanam

trir-avrttya tu yat phalam

ekavrttya tu krsnasya

namaikam tat prayacchati

 

sahasra-namnam—of one thousand names; punyanam—holy; trih-avrttya—by thrice chanting; tu—but; yat—which; phalam—result; eka-avrttya—by one repetition; tu—but; krsnasya—of Lord Krsna; nama—holy name; ekam—only one; tat—that result; prayacchati—gives.

 

The pious results derived from chanting the thousand holy names of Visnu three times can be attained by only one utterance of the holy name of Krsna.
