LYRICS
(1)
Like a fallen demigod on
the ground, Great Bhismadeva the name, lying on a bed
of arrows about to pass away
Krsna and the five Pandavas
came to the battlefield along with all great souls of the universe they
sorrowfully kneeled
(2)
And we had Sant Sukadeva and Lord Parsurama stood around the grandsire warrior and remained
completely calm
He spoke to all the saints
and kings and to Yuddhisthira, but Lord Sri Krsna is supreme, but most were unaware
(3)
The beauty of Lord Krsna’s eyes beamed like the rising sun appeared before
Great Bhismadeva whose final hour had come
While he entrusted ruling
laws unto King Yuddhisthira the sun ran its course into
the Northern Hemisphere.
(4)
At such a time the mystics
who die at their will, and Bhisma’s fuel desire was
finally fulfilled
Praying to Lord Krsna, who advented on this
earth, Bhisma showed how true devotion saves one from
rebirth
(5)
He thought of Lord Krsna had traversed the battlefield, and how He tell the
shot of arrows to shatter Bhisma’s shield
Taking up the wheel, to
protect His friend, Arjuna, Krsna
challenged Bhisma just as the final conchshell blew
(6)
At last, Bhisma fixed his eyes upon the Supersoul,
and as his breathing stopped, he attained the highest goal
Everyone was silent like
the birds at the end of day, while to the transcendental realm, Great Bhisma passed away.
