MP Board · Class 10 · Hindi · Kshitij Poetry: Savaiya aur KavittWhat role does the lotus flower ('Kanj kali') play in the upbringing of child Vasant?
Step-by-Step Solution
In Dev's depiction of spring, the lotus flower acts like a loving mother or maidservant. The flower head nods with pollen grains, which Dev metaphorically describes as performing 'Nazar Utarna' (a traditional ritual to avert the evil eye). Thus, the lotus uses her fragrant pollen to protect the divine baby Vasant from any bad omen.
