O Lord, the very embodiment of correct, real, and pure knowledge, salutations to you.

You are known as Raama because you revel in your own Supreme Self. You are the Supreme Ever Blissful Reality, in which, All That Exists, revels with joy and peace, so You are known as Raama.

O Pious One, You are also known as Sitaa-Raama beacause You are the Supreme Brahman, Raama, manifesting with your Creative Energy, Sitaa.
