कृतः सेनापतिस्त्वेष त्वया भीष्मो नराधिप । सेनापतिं गुणो गन्ता न तु योधान्कथंचन॥५-१६५-२६॥

You have appointed this Bhīṣma as commander, O ruler of men. Merit will accrue to the commander, and not to the warriors in any way.

english translation

नाहं जीवति गाङ्गेये योत्स्ये राजन्कथंचन । हते तु भीष्मे योधास्मि सर्वैरेव महारथैः॥५-१६५-२७॥

O King, so long as Bhīṣma, the son of the Gaṅgā, lives, I will not engage in combat in any manner. But when Bhīṣma has fallen, I will fight against all the great chariot-warriors (mahārathas).
