Synopsis

Excerpt from A Digit of the Moon: A Hindoo Love Story, Translated From the Original Ms.

But in Sanskrit, the Moon, like the Sun, is a male. Hindoo poets get over this difficulty, when they want a female Moon, by personifying his attributes, or making a part do duty for the whole. Thus, his disc is divided into sixteen parts, called ''streaks'' or ''digits,'' and a beautiful woman is ''a digit of the moon.''
