Stationed firmly in all their respective paths, each one of them should guard Bhisma above all, without exception.
Therefore in the rank and file, let stand firm in their posts, according to battalions; and all you generals about Bheeshma.
Therefore all of you taking your places firmly in your respective divisions, guard Bhisma at all cost.
However, venerable sirs, all of you without exception, while occupying all the positions in the different directions as allotted (to you respectively), please fully protect Bhishma in particular.

Thus, the army guarded by Bhima is unlimited for us, whereas the army guarded by Bhisma is sufficient for them, the Pandavas.
Yet our army seems the weaker, though commanded by Bheeshma; their army seems the stronger, though commanded by Bheema.
Inadequate is this force of ours, which is guarded by Bhisma, while adequate is that force of theirs, which is guarded by Bhima.
Therefore, our army under the complete protection of Bhishma, and others is unlimited. But this army of these (enemies), under the protection of Bhima and others is limited.
“This army of ours marshalled by Bhishma is insufficient, whereas their army, marshalled by Bhima, is sufficient.
