At the same time, in the war of Mahabharata, Bhishma had been the commander of the Kauravas for 10 days and was constantly killing the Pandava army. After this, the Pandavas forced Bhishma to drop the bow with the help of Shikhandi and then Arjuna shot him several arrows one by one and dropped him on the earth. It is said that Bhishma Pitamah had taken a vow that till Hastinapur is safe from all sides, he will not die. According to a legend prevalent in history, "Bhishma Pitamah was a Vasu in his previous birth. Vasu is considered a type of deity. Vasu stole the sage of sage Vasistha.

Lord Shri Krishna has said that the importance of Uttaraya is said that during the auspicious period of 6 months, when Suryadev is Uttarayan and the earth is light, at that time the person who leaves the body is not reborn. Such people are directly attained to Brahm. This is also the reason why Bhishma Pitamah waited until the sun rises to give up his body. "As per the legend," On this day Gangaji also followed Bhagirath and passed through Kapil Muni's ashram. I had met and gone. ''
