BIRTHDAY BHISHMA SON GANGGA
According to the book of Adiparwa, Bisma is a reincarnation of one of the Eight Washes named Prabasa. Because Prabasa and the other Wasu tried to steal cattle belonging to Resian Wasista, they were cursed to be born as a human child.
On the way to Earth, they meet the Goddess Ganga who is also condemned to descend into the world as the wife of the son of King Pratipa, namely Santanu. Then, the Wasu deal with the goddess that they will be incarnated as the eight sons of King Santanu and born by the Goddess Ganges.
Birth of Bisma Mahabharata In Adiparwa was told that King Santanu married Dewi Gangga, after agreeing to the condition that the prabu would not forbid his wife if he did something to surprise him. Shortly after marriage, the goddess gave birth, but she immediately drowned her son into the Ganges river.
As per the agreement, Santanu does not prohibit such actions. After seven times doing the same deed, the eighth child survived because the action of Goddess Gangga prevented by Santanu whose patience has been exhausted. After being urged, Dewi Gangga also explained that the children who are born is reincarnated Eight Wasu who was cursed for trying to steal cows belong to Resi Wasista.
To alleviate the suffering they have to endure in the human world, the goddess only lets them live temporarily. However, the eighth child-later named Dewabrata-was the most responsible for the theft of the cow. Therefore, the goddess also let it live longer than other Wasu. In the end, Dewi Gangga left Santanu with the eighth child, because Santanu has broken his promise.
OATH BHISHMA
In Adiparwa it is told that 36 years after the departure of Ganga Goddess, Santan found his son accidentally downstream of the Ganges river. Then, Dewi Gangga appear to hand over the custody of the child to the prabu, and tell her name is "Dewabrata". Long story short, Dewabrata nominated as heir to the throne Hastinapura.
A few years later, Santanu fell in love with a fisherman's daughter named Satyawati. Satyawati's father was willing to surrender his daughter on condition that Satywati's descendants were given the right to the throne of Hastinapura. Santanu could not afford that requirement because he had already nominated Bhishma as the successor to the throne.
With a heavy heart, Santanu returned to his kingdom. Soon, he fell ill with his failure to marry Satyawati. Dewabrata picked up information from the prabu's personal coach, and found the source of his father's illness. He immediately set off for Satyawati's residence. In the presence of Satyawati's father, Dewabrata vowed not to inherit the throne of Hatsinapura, and surrendered the right to the descendants of Satyawati.
Nevertheless, Satyawati's father still doubts his sacrifice, for a dispute over the throne may be between the descendants of Bisma and the descendants of Satyawati. In order to make sure that it will not happen, Dewabrata also vows not to marry for life so as not to have offspring to avoid the throne of the kingdom. Finally, Satywati was handed over to become the wife of Santanu.
Because of his sacrifice, Dewabrata was named Bisma by his father, and was granted to be friends with the God of the Time so that he could determine the time of his own death. Bisma has two younger sisters from her stepmother, named Citrānggada and Wicitrawirya. Bisma educated and protected them as the successors of the Kuru Dynasty in Hastinapura.
Unfortunately, Citranggada died in a battle, so Wicitrawirya was crowned the heir to the throne. For the sake of her sister's happiness, she went to Kasi Kingdom and won the contest so she managed to bring home three princesses Amba, Ambika, and Ambalika, to be married to Wicitrawirya.
However, Amba loves Bisma, while Bisma rejects his love for being bound by an oath that he will not marry for life. For the sake of trying to keep Amba away from him, he unintentionally fired an arrow shooting Amba's breasts. Before breathing his last breath, Amba prayed to be reincarnated into the one who would kill Bisma.
BHISHMA ON THE BARATAYUDHA WAR
During the war between Pandavas and Korawameletus, Bisma was at Korawa's side. Shortly before the battle, he told Yudhisthira that he had been enslaved by wealth, and with his wealth Kaurawa tied up Bisma. However, since Yudhisthira had paid homage before the battle, Bisma blessed Yudhisthira and prayed for victory on the Pandavas, even though Bisma was very difficult to conquer.
Bisma also once said to Duryodana that although he (Bisma) sided with Korawa, the victory was definitely on the Pandavas side because Krishna was there, and wherever there is Krishna then there is truth and luck and wherever there is Arjuna, there is glory. In a great battle in the Kurukshetra sacred plain, Bisma fought violently. Soldiers and knights who fought him must perish or be seriously injured.
In the book of Bismaparwa it is said that in this world the knights find it difficult to match their power and no one can fight against it other than Arjuna and Krishna. Although Arjuna had a chance to fight Bisma, he often fought halfheartedly, remembering that Bisma was his own grandfather. The same thing is also felt by Bisma, who is still affectionate with Arjuna, her beloved grandson. Krishna, who became the coach of Arjuna's wagon in battle, became angry with Arjuna's still reluctant attitude to kill Bisma's life, and he was desperate to kill Bisma's life with his own hands.
With sharp eyes shining in anger, he twirled Chakra over his hands and focused on aiming at Bisma's neck. Bhishma did not dodge, and was happy if he died in the hands of Krishna. Seeing this, Arjuna caught up with Krishna and tried to stop him. Krishna dropped his intention and climbed back on the train.
DEATH BATH IN WESTATAYUDHA
Before the day of his death, Pandavas and Krishna came to the camp of Bisma at night to find out his weakness. Bisma knew that Pandavas and Kresnatelah entered into his tent and he welcomed them kindly. When Yudhisthira asked what could be done to conquer the Bisma they respected, Bisma replied:
"... know my prohibition, that I will not attack a man who has thrown out a weapon, also a fall from his chariot. Nor will I attack those whose weapons are out of hand, will not strike the man whose flag the symbol of his greatness is destroyed, the one who fled, the man in fear, the subdued and say he surrendered, nor will I attack a woman, also someone whose name is like a woman, a weak and incapable person, a man who has only a son, or a drunk person. With that all I'm reluctant to fight ... "
Bhishma also said that if the Pandavas want to defeat him, they should place someone who makes Bisma reluctant to fight in front of the Arjuna train, because he believes only Arjuna and Krishna are able to defeat him in battle. Hiding behind the man who made Bisma reluctant to fight, Arjunah must be able to paralyze Bisma with his arrows.
The Death of Bisma Mahabharata Guided by the statement, Krishna awakened Arjuna to his obligations. Although Arjuna still reluctant, but he completed the task. On the tenth day, Srikand attacked Bisma, but Bisma did not resist. Behind Srikandi, Arjuna fired his stunning arrows and paralyzed Bisma.
The arrows pierced and penetrated his armor, then Bisma fell from his chariot, but his body did not touch the ground because it was supported by dozens of arrows that stuck in his body. But Bisma did not die instantly because he could determine the time of his own death.
Bisma blew out his breath after he witnessed the destruction of the Korawadan forces after he gave a holy discourse to Yudhishthira after the Bharatayuddha war was over.
