व्युपरम्य ततो युद्धाद् योधा: शतसहस्रश: । उपतस्थुर्महात्मानं प्रजापतिमिवामरा:,तदनन्तर लाखों योद्धा युद्धसे विरत होकर जैसे देवता प्रजापतिकी सेवामें उपस्थित होते हैं, उसी प्रकार महात्मा भीष्मके पास आये
vyuparamya tato yuddhād yodhāḥ śatasahasraśaḥ | upatasthur mahātmānaṃ prajāpativ ivāmarāḥ ||
ତାପରେ ଯୁଦ୍ଧରୁ ବିରତ ହୋଇ ଶତସହସ୍ର ଯୋଦ୍ଧା ମହାତ୍ମା ଭୀଷ୍ମଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଏମିତି ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ, ଯେପରି ଅମରମାନେ ପ୍ରଜାପତିଙ୍କ ସେବାରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହୁଅନ୍ତି।

Even within the violence of war, dharmic culture recognizes moments of restraint and reverence: the warriors pause fighting and attend upon a venerable leader, implying that moral authority and respect for elders can command allegiance beyond mere force.
After a phase of fighting, vast numbers of warriors stop battling and gather around Bhishma, attending him with deference; the scene is likened to the gods assembling around Prajapati.
