अन्ये च बहवः शूरा मदर्थे त्यक्तजीविताः।नानाशस्त्रप्रहरणाः सर्वे युद्धविशारदाः॥

Word by word
The verse says
And many other heroes besides, ready to give up their lives for my sake, armed with every kind of weapon, all of them skilled in war.
In plain words
He finishes his own list without finishing it. Many others, he says, and leaves it there.
He did not do that with the enemy. Those he named one at a time, each with a title. His own men get a summary and a phrase about how willing they are to die for him.
For my sake, he says again.
Where you've felt this · in friendship
Someone describes the people helping them mainly in terms of how loyal they are, rather than who they are. It is not that the loyalty is imagined. It is that loyalty has become the only thing about them that is being noticed.
Going deeper
Mad-arthe — for my sake. It is the third time in three verses that Duryodhana has put himself at the centre of the sentence.
He is not lying. Those men really are about to die for him, and many of them really are loyal. What is off is the accounting. He has turned a field full of people into a measure of his own position — this many for me, that many against.
Set this beside what Arjuna does seventeen verses from now. Arjuna looks at the same field and sees fathers, grandfathers, teachers, uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons, friends. He names the relationships, not the ranks. It wrecks him, and it is also the more accurate way to see.
The Gita never suggests Arjuna was wrong to see it that way. Krishna's argument with him is about what to do next, not about whether those men are really his family.
