SrimathE RaamAnujAya nama:

130: aasA: prsAdhiyuthum ambha tadhA bhavathyAm
dhaivAth akANDa saradheeva samuthtithAyAm
sthOkAvasEsha salilAs sahasA bhabhUvu:
SaakEtha youvatha vilOchana vaarivAhA:

Translation by U.Ve. Dr.V.N. Vedantha Desikan
***********************************************

Oh maNi PaadhukE ! Your return to AyOdhyA was like 
an untimely advent of autumn , fortunately coming off
to please the young damsels of the city of AyOdhyA
(though suffering grief over RaamA's exit)as evident 
in their eyes not having anymore than a tiny tear drop. 
As autumn brightens up the various directions , it will
leave a few clouds and a little moisture behind.

Notes by V.Sadagopan (V.S):
****************************

(1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE! When You
arrived in AyOdhyA with BharathA , the women of that city
shed much less tears compared to the time , when RaamA
left for the forest.Even now , they could not stop shedding
tears altogether, since Your Lord was still away from them.
Your return to AyOdhyA however brought joy to their hearts 
and they consoled themselves and shook off the oppressive 
despair that had them in its grip. All the days until Your
arrival as the representative of RaamA were like dark , rainy
days for them. The days after Your arrival made them feel 
that they were enjoying autumn days, when the earth is 
full of wealth everywhere.

(2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: When RaamA left for 
the 14 year exile , the women folk of AyOdhyA cried
their heart out. When their Lord's Padhukai returned
to AyOdhyA as their Lord's representative , they stopped
their heavy crying. You appeared to them like the appearnace
of Iypaasi month in AavaNi . The inner meaning of this slOkam
is that the sishyan , who has been blessd with a sadAchAryan
has more or less no regrets ; the only small regret that
he has not arrived at parama Padham .

(3) Swamy Desikan addresses the Paadhukais as " Ambha" here ,
since the mother alone can understand the deep feelings (sorrows)
of their daughters and can console them effectively . 
Here Swamy Desikan compares the tear laden eyes of 
the sorrowing young women of AyOdhyA as the dense water-laden 
clouds of the rainy season ( iyppasi month) . The sudden arirval of 
the Paadhukais at AyOdhyA seemed to the young women of the City
that they were enjoying an out of season autumn ( AavaNi month )
in the middle of the intense rainy season .The autumn season 
unlike the rainy season is known for bright skies with clouds 
that occasionally sprinkle a few drops of rain ....V.S
