Bhishma said: Then Rama, as if smiling, said to me: 'Fortunately, Bhishma, you wish to fight me in battle. Here I go with you to Kurukshetra; what was promised, I shall fulfill. Come there, O scorcher of foes. There your mother Jahnavi will see you slain by me, covered with hundreds of arrows and become the prey of vultures, crows, and herons. Beholding you pitiable and killed by me, that goddess, honored by Siddhas and Charanas, will weep today, O king. The most noble river, daughter of Bhagiratha, does not deserve such a fate — for she gave birth to you, foolish one, consumed by the craving for battle and the passion for war.'

In this chapter the dispute finally takes the form of a ritually staged duel. Bhishma accepts Rama's challenge not as a personal quarrel but as a kshatriya's duty: with blessings, a white chariot, weapons, and a public departure for Kurukshetra. The color white marks that he goes into battle not out of base fury but as one who holds himself true to his vow. Yet Ganga's appearance reveals the tragic side of dharma: a mother sees that two great vows are leading to ruin, and she tries to stop the fight. Neither Rama nor Bhishma can now yield without betraying his own understanding of truth.
