Having seen Bhishma fallen, your son Duhshasana rushed with the greatest swiftness toward Drona's ranks. This hero, sent by his brother, armed and with his own troop, urging on his warriors, went there. When the Kurus saw Duhshasana approaching, they surrounded him, O great king, wondering, 'What will he say?' Then the Kaurava told Drona that Bhishma had fallen. Hearing this bitter news, Drona suddenly fell from his chariot. Coming to himself, the valiant son of Bharadvaja then halted his own troops, O venerable one. Seeing that the Kurus had withdrawn, the Pandavas too, through messengers on swift horses, ordered their soldiers to be withdrawn. When the armies had withdrawn in due order, all the kings, having removed their armor, went to Bhishma. Ceasing the battle, hundreds of thousands of warriors approached the great-souled Bhishma, as the immortals approach Prajapati. The Pandavas together with the Kurus came to the resting bull of the Bharatas, bowed to him, and stood still. Then the righteous-souled Bhishma, son of Shantanu, addressed the Pandavas and Kurus, who stood before him with reverence.

Even enemies stop fighting and come to Bhishma without their armor. For a time the battlefield turns into an assembly of disciples before their elder: his authority endures even after his fall.
