The "Nama Ramayanam" has questionable authorship. Some sources attribute
this composition to one Lakshmanachar, whose history is unknown. Nevertheless,
its simple Sanskrit and flowing meter when experienced in the musical form
is quite popular.

The exploration here is to get at the meanings of each of the
words, investigate roots and related words.

Every phrase is a benediction to Lord Rama, who is referred to in the
invocative (sambodhanA vibhaktiH)
