Bhishma dies

Yudhistira asked about Uttanka and Krishna.
Bhishma said -
Uttanka was a great devotee of Krishna. He used to worship the Lord from his childhood.
Pleased with his devotion Krishna appeared before him and blessed him.

Saying all this Bhishma said Go to Hastinupura. Take over the kingdom and rule it like an ideal king. It is time for me to leave this world. I give you to Krishna along with your brothers and Draupadi. Krishna will guide you.

Bhishma closed his eyes and started taking the name of Krishna. He closed his eyes and could see Vishnu. It was the month of Magha (January / February) and the dark phase of the moon. On the eight day Bhishma left his mortal body.

All broke down. Cries were heard everywhere. Vyasa the came there. He consoled all.
Yudhistira performed the last rites of Bhishma.

Giving away many gifts to the priests, all left.
