Spiegazione

Duryodhana ends his speech with an order to all his commanders: hold your positions and protect Bhishma. The instruction is practical, since Bhishma is the commander and his fall would shake the army. It is also telling. Bhishma had vowed not to fight Shikhandi, who stands among the Pandavas, and Duryodhana knows that his greatest warrior has a known weakness. The request for protection again shows a leader who speaks of victory while thinking of what could go wrong.
