EXPLANATION

In all of the above slokas Duryodhana tries to boast about his strength and compares with that of Pandavas. He recalls the names of various warriors like Bhishma, Karna,Kripa, Ashvatthama, Vikarna who are there to put their life on stake for Duryodhana. Also he estimates the strength and compare it by saying that powers of Bhishma are far more better than the powers of Bhima. Then He asks his Marshals to give full support to his Grandfather and great warrior Bhishma. Here Duryodhana trying to be diplomatic first praises the powers of Bhishma but in order that other do feel less important he tries to adjust the situation by asking others to cooperate him from other sides. That Great Bhishma may be engaged in fight and enemy might not take advantage from any side so please be on the other strategic positions so that enemy is not able to break the phalanx.

HARI BOL!
