Next chapter - Dhruti says



Alas, he that was not slain by Jamadagni's son himself in days of old by means of even his celestial weapons, alas, he hath now been slain by Drupada's son Sikhandin, the prince of Panchala!--


🤣


Bheeshma ko kisne mara?

WTH! 🤣

Another interesting thing is, he wasn't slain but eliminated. I guess the men meant a metaphorical death since he wasn't capable of fighting after the fall.

At the end he died due to those injuries so whoever eliminated him did slain him that's not wrong technically

Every car warrior is described as a car warrior in it, I had to use 'Find in page:' 😂😂😂 foremost of car warriors maybe meant he was ahead of everyone as placed by Arjuna


How much room is there in a chariot? Arjuna and Shikhandi both are firing from a single one, it takes different angles and body postures to shoot an arrow, if Shikhandi was a human shield he wouldn't shoot arrows endangering Arjuna and it will be difficult for Arjuna to see everyone as Bheeshma wasn't fighting alone



One interesting thing I found, turns out Bheeshma did attack Shikhandi on day 7 -

'King Yudhishthira then, beholding Sikhandin flying away, having had his weapon cut off by Santanu's son became filled with anger. The high-souled Ajatasatru, angrily addressing Sikhandin in that battle, said these words, 'Thou saidst at that time, in the presence of thy sire, unto me--Even I shall slay Bhishma of high vows with my shafts of the hue of the effulgent sun.

Could you please share the link for this

Theory -

It was Shikhandi's oath to kill Bheeshma so it is possible that they decided Shikhandi killed him or he had to commit suicide because none could tell among those 1000 arrows which actually killed Bheeshma.


Bheeshma did attack Shikhandi so him not attacking Shikhandi and Arjun using him as shield is wrong


Bheeshma's death was fair

To slay means to murder. It's wrong on multiple levels. Moreover, the wounds had ceased causing him pain and when he finally decided to let go of his life, all wounds vanished and the soul found release by piercing his mukut.

Shikhandi hadn't taken an oath to kill Bheeshm but to be the cause of his death
