INDIAN EPIC MINIATURE ART PAINTING – Mahabharata Epic painting style

DESCRIPTION: This beautiful Mahabharata painting "The death of Bhisma" of Mahabharata Epic painting style, depicts –

In this Mahabharata painting Bhisma reclines upon the bed of arrows, surrounded by the seven rishis, including Narada with the vina; Krishna, four-handed, with mace, conch, and lotus; Yudhisthira; and the other pandavas; and Duryodhana. Bhisma, the venerable uncle of pandu and chrtarastra, and instructor of the pandavas and kauravas alike, fought on the side of the latter in the Great War. On the tenth day the aged hero grew weary of the slaughter, and desired to meet his own fate. At last he fell, wounded by many arrows. When he fell from his car the hearts of all fell with him. That foremost of all bowmen, that mighty-armed hero fell down like an uprooted standard of Indra, shaking

the earth as he fell. Pierced all over with arrows, his body touched not the ground. At that moment a divine nature took possession of that great bowman lying on a bed of arrows. The sun was then in the southern solstice, an inauspicious time for death.

Wounded as he was, Bhisma resolved to hold his life until the sun should reach the north; so, having recourse to that yoga which is taught in the great Upanishads, he remained quiet, expectant of his hour. Subsequently Bhisma, in response to the inquiries of yudhisthira, instructed him in the four branches of knowledge at great length. The story says that when yudhisthira came to Bhisma, he lay stretched on his arrowy bed, resembling in splendour the evening sun; like unto a fire that is about to go out?. When at last the sun turned towards the north, Bhisma gave up his life-breaths: In the midst of those great-hearted men it was a marvelous thing to see.
