Origin & Story

Spoken by Shiva to Parvati; found in the Vishnu Sahasranamam (phalashruti) and Ram Raksha Stotra (verse 38) · Traditional (spoken by Lord Shiva, recorded by Veda Vyasa and Sage Budha Kaushika) · Itihasa-Puranic era

When Parvati asked Lord Shiva for an easy way to obtain the merit of reciting Vishnu's thousand names daily, Shiva revealed this verse: that simply delighting in the name of Rama equals the whole Sahasranama. The same verse closes the Ram Raksha Stotra, sealing it with the glory of Rama-nama.

As told in scripture

Tradition celebrates the saint Valmiki, who attained enlightenment by repeating the name of Rama, and countless devotees who crossed the ocean of worldly existence through Rama-nama alone. Shiva's own assurance to Parvati that one utterance of 'Rama' equals a thousand names of Vishnu is held as proof of the unmatched power of this simple name.
