A sentence with two meanings

aparyāptaṃ tadasmākaṃ balaṃ bhīṣmābhirakṣitamparyāptaṃ tvidameteṣāṃ balaṃ bhīmābhirakṣitam

Our army, guarded by Bhishma, is beyond measure… or not enough. Theirs, guarded by Bhima, is limited… or quite enough.

What it means

The key word, aparyapta, can mean unlimited, or it can mean insufficient. Commentators read it both ways. Perhaps Duryodhana boasts that his army is vast. Perhaps he admits it isn't enough. Either way, he sets Bhishma, his reluctant elder, against Bhima, who has sworn to destroy him.

The story

Bhishma loves both sides of the family. He has agreed to lead the Kauravas, but he will not kill the Pandava brothers. Bhima, by contrast, has vowed revenge for what was done to Draupadi. One general is divided. The other burns with purpose.

In your life

Picture a company with twice the budget of its rival, yet the staff feel flat. The smaller rival is fired up. Before trusting the size of your resources, ask a quieter question. Do the people beside me believe in this?
