अपर्याप्तं तदस्माकं बलं भीष्माभिरक्षितम् । पर्याप्तं त्विदमेतेषां बलं भीमाभिरक्षितम् ॥ १० ॥
aparyāptaṁ tadasmākaṁ balaṁ bhīṣhmābhirakṣhitam paryāptaṁ tvidameteṣhāṁ balaṁ bhīmābhirakṣhitam
Translation
Our strength, protected by Bhishma, is beyond measure; while theirs, protected by Bhim, is limited.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
भीष्म द्वारा रक्षित हमारी सेना की शक्ति अपरिमित है, जबकि भीम द्वारा रक्षित उनकी सेना की शक्ति सीमित है।
Commentary
This verse has two classic readings because the words aparyāptam and paryāptam can mean either "unlimited / limited" or "insufficient / sufficient." Read one way, Duryodhan boasts; read the other, he admits that his army, under the divided loyalties of Bhishma, is inadequate while the Pandava army is enough. Both readings fit a man veering between bravado and dread.
