The sun in the poem has been used as a metaphor for :

  • A.Knowledge
  • B.Dark
  • C.Heat
  • D.Duty

Answer: D

The key gives that the sun stands for duty.

The image is 'The Sun of one's own Dharma arise', following the wish that the darkness of sin recede. The sun is the sun of one's own dharma, a word that here means one's duty and right conduct, so the metaphor is of duty arising like the sun to dispel the darkness of sin.

'Dark' is the opposite of the sun in the poem (the darkness of sin), and 'heat' is only a physical property of the sun that the poem does not use. 'Knowledge' is a common metaphor for light in general, but here the sun is tied by the poem to dharma, so the key reads it as duty.
