śrī rāmakṛṣṇa aṣṭottaraśatanāma stotram

A hundred and eight names in the dual, so that each of them is two names at once: Rama and Krishna are my recourse, says the refrain, and no verse ever takes them apart. Sprung of the solar line and the lunar; sons of Kausalya and Devaki; husbands of Janaki and Rukmini; lords of Ayodhya and Dvaraka; elder brothers of Saumitri and Gada; born in Treta and in Dvapara. Then the comparison turns unexpectedly technical and sets the two horoscopes side by side — the years Vilambi and Vishvavasu, the seasons spring and rains, the months Chaitra and Shravana, the bright fortnight and the dark, the ninth tithi and the eighth, midday and midnight, Cancer rising and Taurus. It goes on to their priests, their ministers, their teachers, their sons and their mounts, and ends on the two rivers and the two poets, Valmiki and Vyasa.
