Stanza-1

The first stanza makes it clear that a group of bangle sellers are on their way to a temple fair so that they could make some money by selling bangles. Though they have carried the loads of bangles, they are not unhappy. That is why, the load of bangles, to them, are 'shining loads' meant for 'happy' daughters and wives. The multicoloured bangles are beautifully described as rainbow-tinted 'circles of light'. By repeating the word 'happy' the poet has emphasized the human element of the product. The daughters who expect to be married soon wear bangles to express their happy longings. The wives who wear bangles to express their happy longings. The wives who wear bangles express their happiness and contentment in their martial life.

Some of these bangles are shining green whose freshness is close to the vivid beauty of the new born, tender leaves. All these kinds of bangles are suitable for unmarried girls. Their colours express their tender longings.
