Ans. The Narrator speaks as the moon in the story. He presents a fine picture of the Hindu girl. While gliding through the sky. He happens to see a Hindu girl from Hindustan. She comes out of thick bushes. She is fairer than the word ‘fair’. It means, she is extremely beautiful. Her movement is quick and graceful. She appears with a flash .she is as beautiful as eve.

             The girl is in love with her betrothed. She loves him whole heartedly. We can imagine the intensity of her love to him as we see that she makes her efforts to keep the lamp in burning position. She gets her finger burnt but she does not give up her effort. She does not care for the speckled name lying besides her. She completely lost in love with her betrothed.

             In Hindustan, there are some old beliefs that people adopt as precaution against coming evils. The girl belongs to Hindu religion. Therefore, she has firm faith in Hindustani remedies. She fears about the life of her betrothed. She prays to God for the long life of betrothed. She keeps the lamp burning in her hand before floating it into the flowing water .the burning of flame symbolizes the long life of some one o the  girl does the same for the long life of her  betrothed.
