This is very necessary to know about eternal mighty pauranik characters .Two characters are well known to everybody 1. Hanuman and 2. Bhishma .
1. Bhishma…
Vasu are 8 in nos. One day vasu insulted to a rishi and rishi cursed them to go to mrittyuloka .This was a bad chance and vasus requested the Ganga to be their mother, and ganga accepted it. Then they told the story to ganga and this was unpleasant to ganga , that they soon want to come heaven so kindly to kill them after the birth .
Ganga in form of a pretty woman was married to King shantanu, with a condition that Shantanu will never stop ganga for any work and that was unbearable to Shantanu as ganga swept away all 7 vasus one by one. Lastly eighth vasu named as Bhishma was stopped by shantanu not to be killed by Ganga .
At Mahabharat war Bhishma was the first commander and he killed half of the Pandvas army in one day. The next day he announced that he will break the Krsn promise , not to hold the arms and the war was so terrible that to save Arjun, Krsn had to rush with wheel of charriot in hand to kill bhishm and Bhisma was down on the feet of krsn, the war was over that day .
Krsn plotted to kill Bhishma and sent Arjun in the camp of Bhism at night to ask as how Bhishma can be killed . Not to surprise , bhishma told that nobody can kill him , while he is holding the arms in hands , but if some lady comes in front he will stop the fighting.
This was enogh for clever krsn and it was Shikhandi , who was put in front next day and Bhishma put his arms aside , krsn then ordered Arjun to kill bhishma and bhishma was wounded .
Bhishma left his body when mahabharat was over and Yudhishter was proven king and at the heaven time as told in gita .
