Educational Q&A

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.
