When Rama, giver of many thousands, fell, clouds covered the sky, raining down much blood. Meteors fell by the hundreds with thunder and tremors; suddenly Svarbhanu covered the blazing sun. Harsh winds blew, the earth shook, and vultures, badas, and herons circled joyfully about. In the blazing quarter of the sky, a jackal howled fearfully again and again, and drums, struck by no one, resounded with a mighty sound. Such was the terrible, ominous portent then, O best of the Bharatas, when the great-souled Rama, almost senseless, fell to the ground.

Here the battle becomes a trial not only of strength but of Bhishma's endurance before fear, loss, and the sight of death. The charioteer's death breaks the ordinary order of chariot combat: Bhishma is left without support, falls, sees himself nearly slain, yet receives protection from brahmins and from Ganga. This matters: even when a kshatriya stands firm in his vow, his life is sustained not by personal valor alone but by blessing, lineage, and unseen grace. The omens at Rama's fall show that violence between such great souls shakes the world itself. Victory here again brings no triumph; each day ends only in a halt to the fighting, while the conflict endures like a heavy karma that cannot be quickly untied.
