How many blame Bhishma for Amba? - Page 3

I don't blame Bhishma. If Amba is in love with Salv then why did she opt for Swayamvar. She disrespected all other Rajas who participated in Swayamvar. Its the fault of four persons - Kassi's Raja Satyavati , Salv and Amba. Salv's ego is bigger their love. Princess Amba is very stubborn. Amba would have accept Satyavati's proposal of marrying Vichitravirya because Bhishma told that he came on behalf of Vichitravirya. She destroyed her life but she is a very strong personality. She is the reason of Bhishma's death.

I won't blame him. Bhishma didn't like the idea at first, Satyavati ordered him and he had to go hence. And in the Swayamvar, the king ran ahead to attack him.

As Bhishma stated, there was no importance of the Swayamvar for Amba as she had already picked her groom. Also, he himself permitted her to marry the king. In case he would have done anything else, it would have been deep injustice and his pledge would have been broken.

I think bhishma did the fault..Though he went on his mother's demand he did the mistake of insulting the whole meaning of swayamvara..He would have taken an easy path of talking before swayamvara..

@ esha, shalti-shiva and shruti,

satyavati ordering bhishma to go is pure star plus fiction.
in the original texts bhisma alone takes this decision to go.
its based on that some people are commenting here.

also chosing someone before swayamvar is not an insult to other kings. the swayamvar was also for her two sisters too.

if bhishma had not come and amba would have directly garlanded shalva, would the other kings have taken it as an insult?

should amba have talked to her father directly expecting that swayamvar could be interrupted like this, so why take risk??

Well, Amba was responsible for Bhishma's fall on Kurukshetra but in her next birth... About the fight between Bhishma and Parshurama, it was a draw as the fight was stopped by Parshuram himself...About the fault, surely Bhishma was at fault but what he did was on the orders of Satyavati. And he was also ready to give shelter to Amba ( I think, I could be wrong over here thou) but Amba was too adamant on getting revenge.Perhaps that was her destiny and the lady did suffer because of so many rejections

Plus one thing I don't understand is how come Lord Shiva comes to stop the fight between Bhishma and his Guru. That never happened.

No,I won't blame Bheeshma pitamah..He went there because Satyavati ordered him...n moreover if Amba loves someone what she was doing in swyamvar??

Lord Shiva did not stop the fight, nor did Ganga even notice. The fight was stopped by some rishis, led by Narada.

This distortion by ⭐️+ was needless. Following this truce, when Parashurama told Amba that he had failed, Amba did tapasya to Mahadev, and he appeared b4 her and told her that she would get her revenge on Bheeshma, but not in that life. Following that, Amba committed self immolation so that she didn't waste time.

So they could still have shown Mohit as Mahadev, w/o deviating from the script.

On the swayamvara, you are right. I expect inaccuracies & even fiction from serials, but it does irk me when it turns out that they don't have a clue how swayamvaras worked, given their obsession w/ weddings.
