Lord Siva is being asked by Parvathi ,
kEnOpAyEna laghunA vishnOrnAmasahasrakam
paTyathE pandithairnithyam srOthum icchAmi aham PrabhO
What is the easy way in which learned persons chant the thousand names of Vishnu everyday?
Siva replies,
rAmarAmEthirAmEthi ramE rAmE manoramE
sahsranAmathatthulyam rAmanAma varAnanE
Oh charming lady of pleasing countenance, they revel in saying 'Rama,Rama' since the name of Rama is equivalent to the thousand names of the Lord.
This brings to my mind the thought s expressed by Madurai TnSeshagopalan in his harikatha on Thyagatrajaramayana. He said that though Parvathi knows this verywell she asked Lord Siva this for the benefit of mankingd being the mother of the world.And Siva was immensely pleased with her for this and calls her manorame and
varanane. Her eyes shone with mercy and her mind was full of love for the people on earth which makes her manorama, one who is attractive by her attitude and also varanana,with a face beautiful with eyes of love and mercy.
Even though'aanana' is only face it signifies the eyes also as the eyes are rthe windows of the soul and makes it attractive..'Vara' means the best or highest which quality is ascribed to the face of Parvathi having eyes full of tenderness for all.
Siva is the one who knows the glory of Ramanama as Thyagasraja calls him 'ramanamarasikudu' in his kirtana.
