Adhyāya 104 — Śikhaṇḍin-puraskāraḥ (Śikhaṇḍin as Vanguard) and Bhīṣma’s Counter-Advance
ततः सरथनागाश्रचा: पुत्रास्तव जनेश्वर । परिवत्रू रणे भीष्म जुगुपुश्चन समन््तत:
tataḥ sa-ratha-nāgāśvaḥ putrās tava janeśvara | parivavruḥ raṇe bhīṣmaṁ jugupuś ca samantataḥ ||
三阇耶说道：随后，哦，人中之主，你的诸子率领战车、战象与战马之军，在战场上环绕毗湿摩，从四面八方列阵守护他。

Educational Q&A
Even in war, duty expresses itself as protection and responsibility: the Kauravas recognize Bhīṣma as their pivotal elder and commander and act to safeguard him, reflecting loyalty and reliance on experienced leadership—though set within the morally fraught context of the Kurukṣetra conflict.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Kaurava princes, supported by chariots, elephants, and horses, encircle Bhīṣma in battle and protect him from all directions, forming a defensive ring around their commander.
