How Did Bhishma Die in the Mahabharata? | The Warrior Who Waited for the Sun

Fall asleep to the calm, in-depth story of Bhishma's death from the Mahabharata.

Bhishma—the grandfather of the Kurus—fell on the tenth day of Kurukshetra but didn't die for fifty-eight more. He lay suspended on a bed of arrows, choosing the exact moment his breath would leave. This is the story of the vow that made him immortal, the war that brought him down, and the strange mercy hidden in his defeat.
