bhishma's death


Kurukskshektra 10 day


On the tenth day the Pandavas, unable to withstand Bhishma's prowess, decided to put Shikhandi, who had been a woman in a prior life in front of Bhishma, as Bhishma has taken a vow not to attack a woman. Shikhandi's arrows fell on Bhishma without hindrance. Arjuna positioned himself behind Shikhandi, protecting himself from Bhishma's attack, and aimed his arrows at the weak points in Bhishma's armour. Soon, with arrows sticking from every part of his body, the great warrior fell from his chariot. His body did not touch the ground as it was held aloft by the arrows protruding from his body.



The Kauravas and Pandavas gathered around Bhishma and, at his request, Arjuna placed three arrows under Bhisma's head to support it. Bhishma had promised his father, King Shantanu, that he would live until Hastinapur were secured from all directions. To keep this promise, Bhishma used the boon of "Ichcha Mrityu" (self wished death)given to him by his father.


Pandavas were very sad as they lost their strength. They didn't cry in front of their family. They ran inside the tent and started crying. Draupadi knew it so she entered the tent and found her husbands crying. She went and sat on the couch as they looked at draupadi. They all went and laid their on her lap and started crying. She started caressing their forehead.


Arjun:- panchali we lost today. Our pitamah is not with us today to console us.


Draupadi:- don't cry aarya everything will be alright. I am with you aarya.


Yudhishthir:- panchali you know when we first entered hastinapur after our father's death only pitamah accepted us and treated us as their son. But now what we did we are the only reason for his death.


Draupadi:- you are not the reason aarya. Just stay calm. I am with you aarya. You don't loose your hope aarya. This war will take our loved ones away from us. We have no option aarya of bhrata duryodhan would have accepted peace than this would have never happened. You are not the reason for pitamah's death.


Bheem:- yes jyesht panchali is right. We have to punish those dhritrashtra sons because whom this war happened. I will not spare them.


Draupadi:- don't think so much. Should massage your head pandava kumars with oil as your head will be calm down.


Nakul:- of course we need that massage.


She went and took the oil. She started applying oil on their hair and massaging by her soft hands. They felt relief as their head was cooled down.


Draupadi:- how are you feeling aarya?


"Nice draupadi" all said in Union.


They gave soft kiss on her cheeks as she left the tent.
