What it means

Rāmacaritra abhanga 1. Four claims:

Rāma-वन-वास — सर्व-देश-वसे. Rāma-resides-in-all-deśa-claim. Rāmā in vana-vāsa; by that he resides in sarva-dēśa**. (Through forest-exile, Rāma's name spread; he resides everywhere.)
नाम-जतन — समर्थ-न-भिन्न. Samartha-not-bhinna-claim. Made the jatana (careful-keeping) of the nāma; the samartha is not bhinna (different from the name)*. (Rāma and Rāma-nāma are the same.)
वन-अंतरी-रडे — पुराण-पवाडे. Puranic-great-deeds-claim. In vana-antarī he raḍē (laments); such are the pavāḍē (great-deeds) in purāṇa*.
Tuka: ऋषि-नेम — कळोनि-भ्रम-कां. Knowing-why-bhrama-claim. Tuka says: rṣi-nēma (the rishi's vow / scriptural rule); knowing this, why bhrama? (Knowing what scripture has said, why the confusion?)
