Garuḍa Array and the Ardhacandra Counter-Formation
यत्ता भीष्म परीप्सध्वं रक्षमाणा: समन्ततः । मा नः प्रपश्यमानानां श्वेतान्मृत्युमवाप्स्यति
yattā bhīṣma parīpsadhvaṁ rakṣamāṇāḥ samantataḥ | mā naḥ prapaśyamānānāṁ śvetān mṛtyum avāpsyati ||
サンジャヤは言った。「ビーマを守り抜け――四方から固く護衛せよ。われらが見ているその眼前で、あの白き戦士（シュヴェータ）が死をもたらすことのないように。」

Educational Q&A
In a dharmic war context, leadership entails vigilant protection of key elders/commanders; negligence—merely watching while danger approaches—becomes a moral and strategic failure.
Sañjaya reports an urgent battlefield exhortation: the warriors are told to surround and protect Bhīṣma, fearing that the white(-hued) fighter called Śveta may strike down the Kuru side even as they look on.
