Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the mastery of self through yoga and steadfast dharma: Bhīṣma’s disciplined control over prāṇa makes even the violent remnants of war (arrows and wounds) lose their power, suggesting that inner realization and righteous resolve can transcend bodily suffering at life’s end.
In the assembly of sages, Vyāsa and others witness a marvel: as Bhīṣma, Śāntanu’s son, raises his life-breath upward in yogic concentration, arrows embedded in each limb come out by themselves and the corresponding wounds heal.
