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.
