Bhīṣma’s Yogic Departure, Royal Cremation, and Gaṅgā’s Lament (भीष्मस्य योगयुक्त्या देहत्यागः, पितृमेधः, गङ्गाविलापः)
जयो योगी युगान्ताभ: सव्यसाची रणाग्रग: । तेजसा हतवान् सर्व सुयोधनबलं नूप
bhīṣma uvāca | jayo yogī yugāntābhaḥ savyasācī raṇāgragaḥ | tejasā hatavān sarvaṃ suyodhanabalaṃ nṛpa |
毗湿摩说道：“阿周那得胜——具足瑜伽之力，炽然如劫末之火。他是‘萨维亚萨钦’，亦能以左手发箭，且在战场上居于最前。大王啊，仅凭其光辉与武威，便已歼灭了苏约陀那（杜尤陀那）的全部军旅。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that true victory in dharmic warfare is not merely numerical strength but the union of disciplined inner power (yoga) with righteous martial excellence (tejas). Arjuna’s ‘yogic’ steadiness and radiant energy are presented as decisive forces that overwhelm adharma-aligned power.
Bhishma praises Arjuna’s battlefield supremacy, describing him as ambidextrous and foremost in combat, and states that Arjuna has annihilated Duryodhana’s forces through his overwhelming brilliance and prowess.
