A Digit of the Moon (Classic Reprint): A Hindoo Love Story, Translated From the Original Ms. - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Digit of the Moon
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.'
