“‘The pious results derived from chanting the thousand holy names of
Visnu three times can be attained by only one repetition of the holy name of
Krsna.’

PURPORT

This verse from the Brahmanda Purana is found in the Laghu-bhagavatamrta
(1.354), by Rapa Gosvami. For every three times one chants the holy name of
Rama, one can attain the same results simply by chanting the name of Krsna once.
