Bhishma Parv: Summary

"Then is recited the Bhishma Parv replete with wonderful incidents. In this hath been narrated by Sanjay the formation of the region known as Jambu. Here hath been described the great depression of Yudhishthir's army, and also a fierce fight for ten successive days. In this the high-souled Vasudeva by reasons based on the philosophy of final release drove away Arjun's compunction springing from the latter's regard for his kindred (whom he was on the eve of slaying). In this the magnanimous Krishna, attentive to the welfare of Yudhishthir, seeing the loss inflicted (on the Pandav army), descended swiftly from his chariot himself and ran, with dauntless breast, his driving whip in hand, to effect the death of Bhishma. In this, Krishna also smote with piercing words Arjuna, the bearer of the Gandiv and the foremost in battle among all wielders of weapons. In this, the foremost of bowmen, Arjun, placing Shikandin before him and piercing Bhishma with his sharpest arrows felled him from his chariot. In this, Bhishma lay stretched on his bed of arrows. This extensive Parva is known as the sixth in the Bharat. In this have been composed one hundred and seventeen sections. The number of slokas is five thousand, eight hundred and eighty-four as told by Vyas conversant with the Veds.
