This is the Shri Rama Ashtottara Shatanamavali. Its names come from the Shri Rama Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram that begins “Shriramo Ramabhadrashcha Ramachandrashcha Shashvatah”. Other lists of 108 names of Rama are also printed, such as the stotram of the Rama Rahasya, which begins “Ramo Ravanasamharakritamanushavigrahah”; that is a different list. The sources checked differ here: name 43 reads “Dandakaranyavartanaya” in some; name 44 “Ahalyashapavimochanaya”; name 49 “Jitamitraya” (short i); name 65 “Mahodaraya” (short a); names 69–70 read “Anadaye, Adipurushaya” in Gita Press; name 84 “Jitavarishaya” (same meaning); name 93 “Yajvane”; name 95 “Vibhishanapratishthatre” (who installed Vibhishana as king) in some; names 98, 100 and 101 “Parabrahmane, Paranjyotishe, Parandhamne” in some (same meaning); name 108 “Paraya” in Gita Press. One common reading of the stotram has “Shatrujichchhatrutapanah” in place of name 15 and “Dandakaranyapavanah” in place of name 43. “Jitamitraya” comes twice, at 11 and 49, in most sources, so it is repeated here too.
