Question

Elucidate on how the poet is filled with admiration and respect for the snake that he almost regards him like a majestic god

Answer 1

The poet in every way gives respect to the snake and lets the snake quench its thirst as he was the first one who arrived at the water trough. The way the poet steps aside and patiently waits for the snake gives evidence that he is considerate and generous. Moreover, the poet feels honoured that the snake had come as a guest. He regarded the snake as one who has come to see his hospitality. The poet instinctively likes the snake, is fascinated by its majestic grace and admires the alluring manner in which it drinks water.
