Question 2

AYODHYĀ KĀṆḌAM

वासभूः ????

Answer 2

???? वासभूः [ND] ‘whose real residence is the whole world’ (transl.) == Rāma
\
BUT THIS IS [ND] AND IS NOT A STANDARD EPITHET FOR RAMA..
I AM NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS. IT COULD BE FEM PL FROM A वासभु MEANING ‘becoming a dwelling’ BUT THERE ARE NO FEM PLURALS FOR IT TO AGREE WITH HERE.
AS FAR AS I KNOW IT COULD EVEN BE NOM. SG M. वास + भूः AS SOME KIND OF EPITHET FOR RAMA (‘Dwelling (?) Earth’). THE (transl.) IS NOT MUCH HELP.
