" '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 Kṛṣṇa.'
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 Kṛṣṇa once.
