Lord Krishna and Bhishma Pitamah

Lord Krishna and Bhishma Pitamah in the battlefield of Mahabharat.

Bhishma Pitamah: Whoever comes in front of Hastinapur, has to die.

Krishna: You are right Maha Mahim (Bhishma Pitamah). Your power is not being displayed in the war but your weakness is being displayed. If you were really capable enough, in spite of killing your sons and grandsons you would have taken your own life.

Bhishma Pitamah: I am tied to my Dharma (religion), Vasudev!

Krishna: Dharma gives liberation. What kind of Dharma is this? This is not Dharma! This is something which is tying you with someone.

Bhishma Pitamah: Don't question my Dharma Vasudev (Krishna)! I've not done 'Adharm' in my whole life. I made a promise to my father and due to that, I'm standing here.

Krishna: You are making it difficult for people here due to your own personal promise. This is not Dharma. Dharma is something which thinks about others welfare. Your character is false and your Dharma is also false.

Bhishma Pitamah: Vasudev! I respect you but you are breaking the modesty. You don't have any right to question my Dharma. My Dharma is pure and that's why no one can defeat me. No one!

Krishna: I can defeat you. I can defeat you at this instant Bhishma Pitamah! Don't try to make me angry. You are standing as a barrier in between happiness and development of this world. Now, if you don't surrender, I'll kill you.

Bhishma Pitamah (in confusion): Why didn't my arrow reached to you?

Krishna: I am neither Vasudev Krishna, nor Yaduvanshi. I am not a man either. I am the Supreme Lord. I am right and wrong too. I am Dharma, knowledge Pitamah. You are standing in this war with my wish. You are living in this world on my wish and you'll die also on my wish.

Bhishma Pitamah: I am sorry Lord Krishna. I was not aware of your original form. You can definitely kill me but please tell me, what's my mistake?

Later, Lord Krishna enlighten Bhishma Pitamah with true meaning of Dharma and Bhishma Pitamah surrendered in front of Lord Krishna. He asks Krishna to kill him. It would be a blessing for him to be killed by Lord Krishna himself.

When Lord Krishna was about to kill Bhishma Pitamah with that chariot wheel and time started, just then Arjun came running towards Krishna.

Arjun asked Krishna not to break his promise of using a weapon on the battlefield. Krishna agreed and later Arjun killed Bhishma Pitamah.
