"And these other elephants, seven hundred of them, O king, which you see covered in armor, mounted by Kiratas — these the king of the Kiratas, seized by Savyasachin, gave over, richly adorned, as submissive servants, wishing to preserve his own life. These, O king, were formerly your own servants indeed, and now they long to fight against you yourself — behold the reversal of time!"

"Paśya kālasya paryayam" — behold the reversal of time: those who once served now rise up as enemies. It is significant that time overturns every position, and yesterday's servant becomes today's foe. The verse teaches that nothing in the world is permanent: friendship and service, alliance and subjection are as changeable as all things under the sway of time; and the wise, seeing how the wheel turns, do not rely on the present state, remembering that time overturns everything.
