अयनेषु च सर्वेषु यथाभागमवस्थिताः।
भीष्ममेवाभिरक्षन्तुभवन्तः सर्व एव हि ।।
भीष्ममेवाभिरक्षन्तुभवन्तः सर्व एव हि ।।
Meaning “Duryodhan address his army that they have to make sure that the full support is given to Bhishma, as you stand at the strategic points of entry to military phalanx so Bhishma can take on the army of Pandavas to vanquish them in war. .So all eyes equally on grandfather Bhishma.” ExplanationOn all the fronts on which you have been appointed, all of you warriors, while remaining firmly fixed on your respective fronts, that is, with full consciousness and having fixed your mind in the battle here, all of you, all of you, surround Bhishma from all sides. Protect. By saying this,
Duryodhana wanted to bring Bhishma to his side from within.
Seeing Duryodhana's mental enthusiasm broken due to Dronacharya not saying anything, Bhishma ji boosted his enthusiasm towards him.
