SrimathE RaamAnujAya Nama: SlOkam 140: SamupasthithE PradhOshE SahasA vinivruthya chithrakUDavanaath Abhajatha punarjanapadham vathsam dhEnuriva PaadhukE Bhavathi Transaltion by Sri U.Ve.V.N. Vedantha Desikan Swamy ***************************************************** Oh PadhukhE! When the kinglessnes (anarchy) tainted the Kosala country , You quickly repaired back to the country from ChithrakootA forst , even as when evening befalls , the cow gone to grazing fields returns home to nurture the calf. (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here Swamy Desikan equates AyOdhyA to a calf and Padhukai to its nourishing Mother. He says: " Just as a cow will think of its calf at sunset (PradhOsham )and rush home from the forest to feed its calf , Paadhukai thought of the needs of the citizens of AyOdhyA and rushed back home with Bharathan to nurture the citizens of AyOdhyA .The Paadhukai returned of its own out of its infinite dayA". (2)Srimath Andavan's anubhavam : The inner meaning of this slOkam is : AchAryAs worry a lot about the KshEmam of the Jeevans. Therefore , they leave even their own Lord and rush to protect and bless the Jeevans. That is why the Jeevans (sishyAs) gain great auspiciousness. (3) "SamupasthithE" has two meanings according to PurvAchAryAL's vyAkhyAnam . Under one meaning , "SamupasthithE" refers to sunset . Under another meaning, it refers to the approaching bad times , where danger is in the air . The comparison between the Cow rushing home from the grazing fields to suckle the calf and the Padhukai returning home to take very good care of the worried citizens of AyOdhyA is beautiful...V.S Swamy Desikan ThiruvadigaLE SaraNam The Fifth PrahtiprasthAna Paddhathi sampUrNam
