PURPORT
In the  Purāṇas  there are two different opinions concerning Lord Rāmacandra. In the  Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta  (5.34-36) this is confirmed in the description of the incarnation of Manu.
vāsudevādi-rūpāṇām avatārāḥ prakīrtitāḥ viṣṇu-dharmottare rāma- lakṣmaṇādyāḥ kramādamī
pādme tu rāmo bhagavān nārāyaṇa itīritaḥ śeṣaś cakraṁ ca śaṅkhaś ca kramāt syur lakṣmaṇādayaḥ
madhya-deśa-sthitāyodhyā- pure 'sya vasatiḥ smṛtā mahā-vaikuṇṭhaloke ca rāghavedrasya kīrtitā
The  Viṣṇu-dharmottara  describes that Lord Rāmacandra and His brothers—Lakṣmaṇa, Bharata and Śatrughna—are incarnations of Vāsudeva, Śaṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha respectively. The  Padma Purāṇa , however, says that Lord Rāmacandra is an incarnation of Nārāyaṇa and that the other three brothers are incarnations of Śeṣa, Cakra and Śaṅkha. Therefore Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa has concluded,  tad idaṁ kalpa-bhedenaiva sambhāvyam . In other words, these opinions are not contradictory. In some millenniums Lord Rāmacandra and His brothers appear as incarnations of Vāsudeva, Śaṅkarṣaṇa, Pradyumna and Aniruddha, and in other millenniums They appear as incarnations of Nārāyaṇa, Śeṣa, Cakra and Śaṅkha. The residence of Lord Rāmacandra on this planet is Ayodhyā. Ayodhyā City is still existing in the district of Hyderabad, which is situated on the northern side of Uttara Pradesh.
