Guided Shloka Journey — Bhagavad Gita 1.10 — An Army That Still Feels Small
Duryodhana says that his army, though protected by Bhīṣma, is insufficient, while the Pāṇḍava army, protected by Bhīma, is more than sufficient to defeat them. (alternate interpretation: army protected by Bhīṣma is aparyāptam = Unlimited and army protected by Bhīma is paryāptam = limited) — from the Bhagavad Geeta.
Shloka: अपर्याप्तं तदस्माकं बलं भीष्माभिरक्षितम् ।
