Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami
Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Duryodhana pushes his point further by stating that many other powerful heroes as well are all determined to lay down their lives for the attainment of his purpose and the achievement of his desire. They are all formidable in battle as well.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

The question may be raised are these the only warriors on Duryodhanas side. In this verse that question is answered by the words anye meaning many others, others like Jayadratha and Salya and Krtavarma who are all ready to lay down their lives for him. If it were to be further questioned as to their capability, this would be verified by 2 descriptive adjectives nana-sastra-praharanah meaning they are equipped with various missles as their weapons and yuddha-visarada meaning they are expert in all forms of military science.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 1, verse 9 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
