'Not out of greed, not out of faint-heartedness, not out of fear, and not for the sake of gain will I abandon the eternal dharma — such is my firm resolve.' Then all the sages headed by Narada, O king, and my mother Bhagirathi entered the midst of the battle. And I, still holding arrow and bow, stood in the fight with the same firm resolve, desiring to do battle. Then they gathered together once more and addressed Rama, the descendant of Bhrigu, in the combat: 'The heart of the brahmanas is not soft as butter, yet be at peace, O Bhargava. Rama, Rama, withdraw from this battle, best of the twice-born. For Bhishma cannot be slain by you, nor can you be slain by Bhishma, O Bhargava.' Speaking thus, all of them barred the field of battle, and the ancestors made the descendant of Bhrigu lay down his weapon.

Here the duel finally comes to a stop — not through defeat, but through the intervention of a higher order. Narada, the gods, the ancestors, the sages, and Ganga restrain them both: Bhishma from using Prasvapa against his teacher, and Rama from continuing to fight a kshatriya whom he neither should nor can kill. The chapter shows a rare form of victory: both sides keep their vow, yet accept the limit set by dharma. It is especially significant that Bhishma bows to Rama once the battle stops. He does not turn strength into pride; reverence for the guru remains higher than a warrior's self-regard.
