It's trying to say that by Brahmacarya one can not be killed- even by the Lord of Death. No ordinary mortal could survive so many arrows pierced through his body.
[quote=Hiwaunis;21273]Those who practice Brahmacarya can't be killed? If one is born that one is destined to die. However, dying and being killed are different.
Kindly please tell me if there is a deeper meaning.

It was also said Ahbiymanu had sex with his wife the night before the battlefield, and so could not withstand the onslaught of arrows.
Really!?! Bhishma had a wife and had sex with her? What happened to "all women of the world being his mother?" So why is he called the terrible?
Om Shanti,
Hiwaunis
