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
