du:swapna etc.

Thanks a lot. What would be the sources of such slokas - generally
speaking? About the other well known sloka you mentioned, what does
ramaskadham mean? If it is accusative of Rama and skandha then it
should be in dwivacana. Some people say vaikadeyam instead of
vainateyam; is there a word like that? And what is vrakodara doing in
this group? What would Bheema be doing in the company of Devatas like
Rama, Skandha, Hanuman and Garuda?

I feel the meanings are as follows:
ramaskandha means ramaH yasya skandhe (asti) saH - one who has raama on
his shoulder.
(A person carrying raama on his shoulder)
vRkodara - vRkasya udaram iva udaram yasay saH - Onw who has his waist
like that of a Vrka
(a healthy person who does not have fat accumulated on the waist)
- or is it that one who is a glutton like a tiger?
- When we use kRshodari in case a woman, we mean slim waisted - not a
woman wo has her belly
thinned down due to utter poverty .
I think the word vRkodara got stuck with Bhima and people are not allowed
to use it with anybody....
vainateya means son of vinata. I do not know any rule which says na and
ka rae intechangable.
Regards,
Namboothiripad.

Thanks for that. The question of the meaning of the entire sloka
remains. If ramaskandha and hanumanta refer to the same God, then
maybe vRkodara and Vainateya refer to the same Garuda. There would be
some logic in the construction of the sloka too. One remembers
Hanuman and Garuda before going to bed (making it an immensely
Vaishnavite sloka :) ), and each is referred to by two names each.
would that be plausible? if not, who in this context could be
vRkodara? by the way, is ramaskandha one of the well known or
accepted names for Hanuman? Maybe to be found in some nAmAvali?
