What is ironic about the inscription on the pedestal of Ozymandias?
उत्तर
The inscription on the pedestal of Ozymandias reads “I am Ozymandias, king of kings, Look on my works ye mighty and despair." It talks about how powerful the king is but ironically, all that remains of the mighty king is a trunk less legs of stone and a half sunk face of the great king.
