अपर्याप्तं तदस्माकं बलं भीष्माभिरक्षितम् |
पर्याप्तं त्विदमेतेषां बलं भीमाभिरक्षितम् || १० ||
Our power is immeasurable and we are all well protected by Pitamah, whereas the power of Pandavas is limited even after being well protected by Bhima.
Here Duryodhana has presented an estimate of comparative power. He thinks that the power of his armed forces is immeasurable due to being specially protected by the very experienced commander Bhishma Pitamah. On the other hand, the forces of the Pandavas are limited as they are being protected by a less experienced hero Bhima who is insignificant in comparison to Bhishma.Duryodhana was always jealous of Bhima because he knew that if he ever died, it would be due to Bhima. But at the same time he firmly believed that in the presence of Bhishma his victory was certain because Bhishma was a much better commander. It was his firm determination that he would be victorious in the war.
