“‘The pious results derived from chanting the thousand holy names of Viṣṇu three times can be attained by only one repetition of the holy name of Krṣṇa.’
PURPORT
This verse from the  Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa  is found in the  Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta  (1.354), by Rūpa Gosvāmī. For every three times one chants the holy name of Rāma, one can attain the same results simply by chanting the name of Krṣna once.
