Rama - Origins
The name was originally an epitheton of the night, from a root ram "to stop, stay, rest, abide"; hence a meaning of "black, dark-coloured" in the Atharvaveda. Two Ramas are mentioned in the Vedas, with the patronymics Mārgaveya and Aupatasvini; another Rama with the patronymic Jāmadagnya is the supposed author of Rigveda 10.110. According to Monier-Williams, three Ramas were celebrated in post-Vedic times,
- parashu-rāma ("Battle-axe-Rama"), the 6th Avatar of Vishnu, sometimes also referred to as Jāmadagnya, or as Bhārgava (descended from Bhrigu)
- Rāma-candra ("Rama-moon"), son of Dasaratha, descended from Raghu
- Bala-rāma ("the strong Rama"), also called Halāyudha, regarded as an elder brother of Krishna
According to Jainas, a Rama is enumerated among the nine white Balas. In in the Vāyu-Purana, a Rama is mentioned among the seven Rishis of the 8th Manvantara.
