Educational Q&A
True greatness is measured not only by martial power but by inner realization and steadfast dharma; Bhīṣma is honored as a foremost knower of Brahman, showing that spiritual attainment and ethical integrity command reverence even amid the violence of war.
After Bhīṣma has fallen and lies reclining (traditionally on a bed of arrows), celestial beings observe him and proclaim him the best among Brahman-knowers; Sañjaya reports this acclaim, elevating the moment from battlefield spectacle to moral-spiritual recognition.
