Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 56
सह तैर्मुनिभि: सर्वैस्तदा व्यासादिभिनन॑प । नरेश्वर! इस प्रकार सबके देखते-देखते भीष्मजीका शरीर क्षणभरमें बाणोंसे रहित हो गया। यह देखकर व्यास आदि समस्त मुनियोंसहित भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण आदिको बड़ा विस्मय हुआ
saha tair munibhiḥ sarvais tadā vyāsādibhir nṛpa | nareśvara, itthaṁ sarveṣāṁ paśyatāṁ bhīṣmasya śarīraṁ kṣaṇamātreṇa bāṇair vinirmuktaṁ babhūva | tad dṛṣṭvā vyāsādi-samastaiḥ munibhiḥ saha bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇa-ādayaś ca mahad vismayaṁ jagmuḥ |
毗舍波耶那说道：“大王啊！当时与毗耶娑为首的一切牟尼同在，众目睽睽之下，毗湿摩的身体顷刻间竟脱离了所有箭矢。见此情状，连薄伽梵室利·奎师那以及以毗耶娑为首的诸圣仙也大为震骇。”

Even in the aftermath of violence, the narrative highlights the supremacy of dharma and the mysterious workings of higher order: Bhīṣma—renowned for vows and righteousness—becomes the locus of an extraordinary event that astonishes even Kṛṣṇa and the great sages, reminding the listener that moral-spiritual stature can draw forth realities beyond ordinary causation.
As the sages led by Vyāsa are present, everyone witnesses Bhīṣma’s body suddenly becoming free from the arrows that had pierced him. This unexpected transformation causes great amazement to Kṛṣṇa and the assembled sages.
