 | | Bhishma took a vow of life-long celibacy to enable his father to marry the woman whom he desired, whose father insisted that the son born to her should be the heir to the throne. | | | Bhishma then explained that he had been serving the Kauravas and living on their bounty. | | | Bhishma not only renounced his title to the throne but also took the vow of celibacy to ensure that he would leave no progeny to claim the right. |

| | Bhishma said: As the duty of the Brahmanas consists of the practice of charity, study and penances, so the duty of Kshatriyas is to cast away their bodies, O Krishna, in battle. | | | Whatever, O Bhishma, thou wilt say unto the enquiring son of Pandu (Yudhishthira), will be regarded on earth to be as authoritative as the declarations of that Vedas. | | | The Kuru hero (Bhishma) was surrounded by many ascetics like he of a hundred sacrifices by the deities of heaven. |

| | Draupadi the Godess and Bhishma's Reminicences by Pradip Bhattacharya |
| | However, true to his insensitive nature, Bhishma is wholly impervious to the injustice done to Gandhari—which sowed the seeds of Shakuni’s destructive manipulations—and to Draupadi [like the typical MCP, he claims (p.99) the provision of five husbands “flattered Draupadi deeply and personally”]. | | | The most glaring omission is any reference to Shikhandi, how Bhishma came to identify him with Amba and how he came to lie on the bed-of-arrows (whether this is a psychological symbol or a physical reality is also not investigated as one would have expected in a novel). | | | Thakur’s novel on Bhishma, written in autobiographical style in the first person, raises high expectations only to belie them. |
