Dear Student,
Asiatic Lions are termed to be the King of the Jungle Hence, the
Lion is a noble one The lion is also termed as a wild beast in the
human kingdom The poet describes the meeting of the lion and the
human wherein it either roars or stares at the human; is a form of
greeting
The figure of speech used here, is - an oxymoron, because of the
presence of two opposite words side by side - noble and beast
