English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
1.10. Thus the army guarded by Bhima is unlimited (or insufficient) for us;  on the other hand,  the army guarded by Bhisma is limited  (or sufficient)  for them  (the Pandavas).


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
1.10  Aparyaptam etc. For us, for Pandava army grauded by Bhimasena is unlimited, i.e., it is not possible to vanish; or it is not sufficient, i.e., very insignificant when compared with our army. This is the meaning. On the other hand, for these Pandavas, this army guarded by Bhisma, belonging to us, is limited i.e., it is possible to vanish; or it is sufficient i.e., too much; in other words it is not possible to be vanished in the war by these (Pandavas).
