Bhishma Passes Away

Yudhishthira in the company of Krishna, his brothers, ministers and the other prominent people sought the blessings of his grandsire.
Bhishma gave them all his blessings and also gave Yudhishthira sound advice about how to conduct himself correctly as a king. He enlightened him on righteousness, justice and stately affairs. He further stated, “Now I am happy to feel that the control of Hastinapur is in safe hands. My duty on this earth is over now. This is the month of Magha. It is transmigration of the Capricorn. It is an excellent day. O Son! I will give up my life today.”
Gandhari, Kunti, Vidura etc. began to weep. All of them paid obeisance to Bhishma who said to Krishna, “O Madhava! Please stand before me. I wish to give up my life in your presence.” Krishna paid obeisance to him. Thus in the presence of thousands of people Bhishma gave up his life.
Yudhishthira performed his last rites solemnly.
