Shloka 15
अर्जुन वासुदेवं च ये चान्ये तत्र पार्थिवा: । सर्वास्तान् वारयिष्यामि यावद् द्रक्ष्यामि भारत,भारत! अर्जुन, श्रीकृष्ण तथा अन्य जो-जो भूपाल हैं, मैं उनमेंसे जितनोंको देखूँगा, उन सबको आगे बढ़नेसे रोक दूँगा
arjunaṃ vāsudevaṃ ca ye cānye tatra pārthivāḥ | sarvāṃs tān vārayiṣyāmi yāvad drakṣyāmi bhārata ||
Бхишма сказал: «Арджуну и Васудеву, и каких бы иных царей там ни было — пока я еще могу их видеть, о Бхарата, — я всех их удержу и не дам им продвинуться вперед».

The verse highlights kṣatriya resolve and the ethic of steadfastness: Bhīṣma commits to restraining even the foremost warriors as long as he remains capable, showing unwavering adherence to his chosen side and duty, regardless of personal regard for opponents.
Bhīṣma, speaking in the Udyoga Parva context of impending conflict, declares that he will block the advance of Arjuna, Kṛṣṇa, and the other kings present—asserting his readiness to act as a bulwark against them for as long as he can still face them.
