ಶುಭತಮ ಕಥಾಶಯ ಪರಮಸದೊದಿತ ಜಗದೆಕಕಾರಣ ರಾಮರಮಾರಮಣ ೧

Athimatha thamogirisamithivibhedana pithaamahabhoothida gunagananilaya
Shubhathamakathaashya parama sadoditha jagadekakaarana raama Ramaaramana 1

He is Athimatha as He is worshiped by the Jnanis fully or He is well known only by Yogis. It can also be interpreted as meaning that He can not be known completely by any one.
He is the destroyer (vibhedana) of the groups (samithi) of mountains of primordial ignorance - Thamogiri He gives the Aiswarya or all capacity, powers, wealth etc. to Chathurmukha Brahma. (Bhuthi - sampath) He is the repository of infinite auspicious qualities like Jnana, Ananda etc. (The word Nilaya shows that He is the source from which others get some little parts of those qualities). He is also the subject of enquiry (kathaashaya) which is the most sacred (shubhathama) leading to redemption from Samsara (the most auspicious result attainable). The word Shubhathamakathashaya can also be split a Shubhathamakatha, and Aaashaya, to give the meaings that He is the most auspicious entity in the world and discussion about Him gives the most auspicious result, while Aashaya means Aashraya - one who supports every thing and every one.
Parama - Sarvotthama - the greatest entity in the world.
Sadoditha - Sadaaprakaashana - one who is always of the essence of pure knowledge or effulgence.
Jagadekakaarana - the most important and primary cause of the world.
Raama - Aathmaaraama - One who enjoys Himself, One who is of the nature of pure infinite bliss. Sri Vishvapathi gives a quote from Paadmapurana - "Ramanthe yogino yathra
sathyanandachidaathmani ithi Raamapadenaaithath param brahmaabhideeyathe" _ the word Rama also denotes that He is one of the essence of Sat, Chit and Aananda in whom the yogis
revel in bliss in their meditation.
Ramaaramana - Lord of Lakshmi or Ramaa.
