Sant Tulsidas, who can bigger authority then him, whose Ramcharitra was endorsed by none other the Lord Shiva writes; Balkand
I greet the name Ram of the chief of Raghus, which is composed of seed-letters representing the fire-god, the sun-god and the moon-god (viz., Ra, Å and Ma respectively). It is the same as Brahmå (the creative aspect of God),Vishnu (His preservative aspect) and Siva (His disintegrating aspect), and the vital breath of the Vedas; It is attributeless, peerless and a mine of virtues. It is the great spell which Lord Mahe‹vara mutters and which, when imparted by Him at Kashi leads to emancipation. Its glory is known to Lord Ganesh, who is worshipped before all others as a glary of the Name. The oldest poet (Vålm¶ki) is acquainted with the glory of the Name,
inasmuch as he attained to purity by repeating It in the reverse order§. Hearing the verdict of Lord Siva that the name is as good as a thousand other names of God, Goddess Bhavån (Pårvat¶) dined with Her consort after uttering It only once.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
