Charanam :
rAmayanE sumarmamu ramayanE Sarmamu this is how it is given in all the books other than that TKG, wherein it is given as ramyanE sumarmamu rAmayanE Sarmamu; the adopted version is given as an alternative in that book.
Charanam : ramayanE Sarmamu In my humble opinion, this should be ramyanE Sarmamu. This is given so in the book of TKG. But other books does not contain this.
Charanam : rAma Please refer to the discourse of kAnci paramAcArya candraSEkharEndra sarasvati on the true significance of word rAma given in the website - http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Rhodes/2952/mantra3.html
