Then at night, O king of kings, wounded by arrows, I fell asleep on my right side, as if it were the hour before dawn. Then those foremost brahmins, by whom I had been lifted up after falling from my chariot, upheld, and comforted with the words 'fear not,' appeared to me in a dream. These same sages, coming to me in that vision, gathered around me and spoke these words; hear them, O bearer of the Kuru line: 'Arise, fear not, son of Ganga. There is no danger whatsoever for you. We protect you, O tiger among men, for you are our own body. Jamadagnya Rama will never defeat you in battle in any way; you yourself shall be the victor over Rama in combat, O best of the Bharatas.'

After many days of battle, Bhishma for the first time openly acknowledges the limit of his strength: he cannot see how to defeat Rama by ordinary means. The chapter therefore moves the action from the battlefield into the inner realm of nighttime reflection and dream. The answer comes not as a crude intensification of fury but as subtle knowledge: the Prasvapa must subdue, not kill. This marks a significant turn of dharma. Victory need not mean the destruction of an opponent, especially when that opponent is a teacher and a brahmin. Bhishma is shown a path that preserves his kshatriya duty while leaving intact his reverence for Rama.
