The literary idea of this dance is that "She lived in beauty, splendour, and love; when the cruel arrow pierced her tender heart. The movement of the dance project the sprightliness of the animal, but a palpable undertone of pain permeates the whole composition. Divided into three parts, this dance shows - (i) The agony of the arrow, (ii) The earlier life of love, grace and innocence, (iii) The inevitable end.
