suro 'suro vāpy atha vānaro naraḥ

Whether one is a devatā, demon, monkey or man, one should worship by all methods excellent Rāma, in the form of a human, who accepts worship easily, and who took all the inhabitants of Ayodhyā to Vaikuṇṭha.
Among all the avatāras worthy of worship, Rāma is the ocean of mercy, the most worthy of worship. In worshipping him, all persons are qualified without distinction. Everyone should worship Rāma by all methods (sarvātmanā). Rāma took all the inhabitants of Ayodhyā (uttarān kośalān) in those very bodies to Vaikuṇṭha (divam).
|| 5.19.9 ||
bhārate 'pi varṣe bhagavān nara-nārāyaṇākhya ākalpāntam upacita-dharma-jñāna-vairāgyaiśvaryopaśamoparamātmopalambhanam anugrahāyātmavatām anukampayā tapo 'vyakta-gatiś carati.
In Bhārata-varṣa, the Lord in the form of Nara-Nārāyaṇa, whose glories are inconceivable, to favor to the jñānīs, mercifully performs austerities till the end of the yuga, which included realization of ātmā, abundant dharma, knowledge, renunciation, powers, sense control and freedom from false ego.
Nara-nārāyaṇa perform penance by which one realizes one’s ātmā, and in which there is control of the senses (upaśama) and absence of ahaṅkāra (uparama). He showed mercy (anugrahāya) to the jñānīs. He showed mercy by giving teachings about austerity. Therefore performing austerities was necessary. Performing austerities was his mercy also (anukampayā). The two words for mercy are therefore not repetitive.
