Duryodhana's banner — a jeweled elephant in gold, kiṅkiṇīśatasaṃhrāda, ringing with a hundred bells: the pomp of the instigator surpasses all. But the ringing of bells is not the voice of strength, only an ornament; and all this splendor is raised above the one whose falsehood destroys his line. It is telling that the banner shining brightest of all belongs to the one who is the cause of universal calamity. The verse teaches that outward magnificence grows louder the deeper the inner falsehood runs: the bells ring, but they will not avert the fall that pride has prepared.
