Bhishma said: "Yudhishthira, great sage, knower of all the shastras, hear my word, child, righteous and leading to heaven. O Bharata, I am deeply weary of this body: my time has passed in slaying multitudes of living beings on the battlefield. Therefore, if you wish me well, place the Partha, the Panchalas, and the Srinjayas in front, and make every effort toward my death."

Bhishma himself reveals the path to his own fall. He does not ask for mercy -- he asks for a righteous end to his duty, now that continuing to live would mean only further violence.
