The episode start with padavas visiting Pitamah in the battle fired at night. Pitamah says let me clarify some points before you are me questions. While living I cannot leave my duty of protecting Dhritrashtra's sons . It is your duty in the name of Dharma to kill me. If you still have any questions ask. They say you had said that you want to see Dharma in hastinapur , that was the basis of our call for war. Now after your death who will tell her what we are doing is Dharma. Justice is up to the judge , who will decide what we are doing is justice. Bheeshma says some of my duties are pending I promise you I will fulfill them. I know the though of killing me is hurting you but it needs to be done. And now like a judge I myself declare my punishment. For looking when the daughter in law of the family was being insulted I declare the death sentence for Bheeshma. This death sentence will be effected by sun set tomorrow . It's time for my long journey and my panos to end
He tells them that they can leave but he tells Draupadi to wait . He says to her that you have given more sacrifices than me for this family. You are really worthy of reverence. A sinner can only get mukti through forgiveness. Will you forgive me and open the way to my mukti. Draupadi weaps and says not to says so and says yes
Dhritrashtra is going mad with worry that if Bheeshma dies his sons will become unprotected. He tells vidur to send message to the battle field that it's his order that Bheeshma cannot fight. Vidur says it's too late it's sunrise
Drona cones to bheeshma and asks him to give him a chance to serve . Bheeshma says but you are guru. Drona says I am not as I let attachments take over me . I am just a teacher. Today is day if your mukti and after a few days I will get mukti too then maybe I will attain the post of guru again but upright now I am just a teacher and hence let me serve you. He helps bheeshma with his karvach. Bheeshma says goodbye we shall meet in heaven
PRECAP
Shakuni and Shikhandifight. Shakuni says you will have to take second birth to kill bheeshma. He throws Shikhandi down and is about to kill him
