Question

What is one effect of repeating Ráma's name numerous times in The Rámáyan of Válmíki?

Answer 1

I think: it creates a rhythmic pattern..

Answer 2

Answer:

It identifies Ráma as supernatural.

Explanation:

In The Ramayan of Valmiki, the character of Rama was a virtuous prince of Ayodhya. But before he could officially get the title of the king, he was exiled to the forest which he readily accepted.

Even though he is a mere prince, his act of rescuing his wife from the evil demon Ravana led to his popularity. He, along with his wife Sita and his brother Laxman were in the forest when she was captured by the demon. The repeated mention of Rama's name in the epic signifies how he was deemed supernatural.
