Rāma
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
By Swami Harshananda
Rāma literally means ‘one who gives delight to the yogis’.
In the epics and the purāṇas, three Rāmas are dealt with:
- Rāma, the son of Daśaratha also known as Śrīrāma
- Rāma of the battle-axe, called as Paraśurāma
- Rāma or Balarāma
