Following is from Jaiva Dharma-
Vijaya: Which name is the sweetest of all the primary holy names?
Babaji: The Sata-nama-stotra says,
visnor ekaikam namapi sarva-vedadhikam matam
tadrk-nama sahasrena rama-nama-samam smrtam
Chanting one name of Vishnu gives more benefit than
studying all the Vedas, and one name of Rama is equal to a
thousand names (sahasra-nama) of Vishnu.
Again, it is stated in the Brahmanda Purana,
sahasra-namnam punyanam trir avrttya tu yat phalam
ekavrttya tu krishnasya namaikam tat prayacchati
If one utters shri-krishna-nama once, one obtains the same
result that comes from chanting the pure visnu-sahasranama
three times.
The purport is that a thousand names of Vishnu equals one name
of Rama, and three thousand names of Vishnu - that is to say, three
names of Rama - equals one name of Krishna. Chanting Krishna's
name once gives the same result as chanting Rama's name three
times.
Shri-krishna-nama is certainly the supreme name. Therefore, we
should follow the instruction of the Lord of our life, Shri Gauranga
Sundara, and always take shri-nama as He has given it: Hare Krishna,
Hare Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama,
Rama, Rama, Hare, Hare.

When Lord Rama Attempted To Kill Lord Hanuman
Lord Rama had finally defeated Ravana and he was declared the new king of Ayodhya. All those who had accompanied Lord Rama to Ayodhya were going to all the elders and every saint present there to touch their feet and get their blessings.Lord Hanuman was not only a staunch devotee of Lord Rama, but also purely innocent at heart.
The Mischief Of Narad Muni
We all have heard and read about the sharp mind and mischievous attitude of Narad Muni, the wandering divine sage. While present there as a guest in the court of Lord Rama, he secretly told Lord Hanuman that while touching the feet of all the sages present there, he should not touch the feet of Sage Vishvamitra as he had been a king earlier, thus he was not fully a sage.
Innocent Lord Hanuman Observing diligently the orders of Narad Muni, he touched the feet of all the sages, except Vishvamitra. Vishvamitra was the Guru of Lord Rama. Unlike what Narad Muni had expected, sage Vishvamitra did not feel bad about it and took the mistake of Lord Hanuman lightly. But Narad Muni was not able to take this easily as his efforts had turned futile, and so he initiated another mischief. He went to Vishvamitra and deliberately instigated him against Lord Hanuman. A Test For Lord Hanuman Exasperated by the remarks of Narad Muni about Lord Hanuman, sage Vishvamitra got angry with Lord Hanuman and ordered Lord Rama to kill him. Following his orders when Lord Rama attacked him, Lord Hanuman started chanting 'Rama Rama'. And the magic of the words was such that even Lord Rama's constant attacks could not affect him. Determined, Lord Rama finally attacked him with the Brahmastra. However, the powerful chant of Lord Rama's name and the power of Lord Hanuman's devotion towards him saved him from this most powerful weapon as well.
Narad Muni's Heart Melted
Surprised to see the devotion of Lord Hanuman for Lord Rama, sage Narad Muni realised that his mischief was wrong and decided to apologize for it. He reached out to sage Vishvamitra and asked him to save Lord Hanuman as soon as possible. Mentioning his innocence and his devotion for Lord Rama, he accepted his mistake and requested sage Vishvamitra to take his orders back. Sage Vishvamitra took back his order and thus saved Lord Hanuman, admiring his true devotion and love for Lord Rama.
