ayaneṣhu cha sarveṣhu
yathā-bhāgamavasthitāḥ
bhīṣmam-evābhirakṣhantu
bhavantaḥ sarva eva hi
Meaning :
"Therefore, you all should guard Bhishma, in particular, on all sides by being stationed in your respective positions on all fronts."
Comment :
Duryodhana knows the importance of Bhishma, as his army included people of various races & Bhishma was the only key person who could make them fight together. So, any difficulty that Bhishma may face during the war shall result in a failure to Kauravas, as a whole. To not let this from happening, Duryodhana asks every warrior to be stationed in their respective positions & give protection to Bhishma.
In this shloka, Duryodhana wants to make sure that Bhishma is not unlawfully defeated by the enemies, exploiting his position in War. He also didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings through the previous line saying Bhishma is our savior, so he tries to make everyone come together for the protection of Bhishma.
In our life also, we always try to protect our strength from being exploited or lost, as it is our only savior. Similarly, Duryodhana also tries to do it during war.
