«Gambling is the root of strife, leading to a great mutual rupture or to battle; established in it, this son of Dhritarashtra, Duryodhana, breeds fierce enmity. The Pratipyas, the descendants of Shantanu, the Bhaimasenas together with the Bahlikas — all will come to grief because of Duryodhana's transgression. Through his own madness Duryodhana strips the kingdom of its well-being, as a bull in fury itself breaks its own horn by force.»

The image is precise: the madman destroys himself, like a bull that in its fury breaks its own horn. It is significant that evil turns first of all against the evildoer himself: the enmity sown by Duryodhana will strike his own house before it strikes others. The verse teaches that a ruler's sin is not a private matter — by “the transgression of one,” grief comes to “all” the houses. And the “root of strife” is named directly — gambling; a seed small in appearance carries war within it. One who, like a maddened bull, wrecks his own in blind passion, reveals the nature of all evil: it is self-destructive. Anger and greed break the one who carries them before they ever reach others.
