Therefore, our army, under the complete protection of Bhisma and others, is limitless. But this army of the enemies, under the protection of Bhima and others, is limited.
Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara
Our force is inadequate, guarded by Bhisma, while their force is adequate, guarded by Bhima.
Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja
Thus, the army guarded by Bhima is unlimited for us, whereas the army guarded by Bhisma is sufficient for them, the Pandavas.
