किंचिच्छेषे दिनकरे पुत्राणां तव पश्यताम् | इस प्रकार आपके ताऊ भीष्म युद्धस्थलमें अर्जुनके तीखे बाणोंसे अत्यन्त विद्ध हो गये थे--उनका शरीर छिदकर छलनी हो रहा था। वे उसी अवस्थामें
sañjaya uvāca | kiṃciccheṣe dinakare putrāṇāṃ tava paśyatām | hāheti divi devānāṃ pārthivānāṃ ca bhārata, patamāne rathād bhīṣme babhūva sumahāsvanaḥ ||
三阇耶说道:当日轮只剩下些许余晖之时,在你诸子眼前,毗湿摩——被阿周那锋利的箭一再穿刺——从战车上坠落,头转向东方。婆罗多啊,当毗湿摩自车上坠下之际,天上的诸神与地上的诸王之间,齐齐爆发出震天的哀号:“哀哉!哀哉!”

The passage underscores the gravity of dharma-yuddha: even the mightiest warrior’s fall is governed by time and consequence, and the world—divine and human—responds with moral awe and sorrow, reminding the listener that power and glory are transient.
As daylight wanes, Bhishma—overwhelmed by Arjuna’s arrows—falls from his chariot before the Kauravas’ eyes, and a great lamentation erupts among the gods in the sky and the kings on earth.
