This second half of Bhishma describes the events from the
beginning of the fifth day till the end of the tenth of the great
battle between the Káuravas and the Pándavas.
Despite grandfather Bhishma's appeal to conclude peace with the
Pándavas, Duryódhana continues the bloody battle.
The key strategist is general Bhishma, commander of the
Káurava forces. Even though he is compelled to fight on the
side of the Káuravas, Bhishma's sympathies are with the
Pándavas. After the ninth day of war, when Bhishma has
wreaked havoc with their troops, the Pándavas realise that
they will be unable to win as long as invincible Bhishma is alive.
Bhishma willingly reveals to them how he can be destroyed. Strictly
observing the warrior code, he will never fight with
Shikhándin, because he was originally born a woman. Bhishma
advises the Pándava brothers that Árjuna should
strike him from behind Shikhándin's back, and they follow
the grandfather's advice.
