Mahabharat

Stop!

Enemies are not premitted to go near his Excellency!

Go and tell grandsire

that his grandsons

wish to meet him.

We have no weapons on us.

Go

and seek his permision.

His Excellency, the sons of Pandu are here.

They have no weapons on them

and they seek your permission to meet you.

No,

they do not have my permission.

If they meet me today

then tomorrow in the battlefield

they will not be able to strike at me.

Go and tell the sons of Pandu

that His Excellency Bhishma cannot meet the enemies.

Stop!

Go and tell them

that they do have my permission to meet me.

Grandsire, all of us...

Before you say anything, you must listen to me.

As long as I am alive

I have no intention of forsaking my duties.

In other words

neither will I give up my weapons

nor give up protecting the sons of Dhristarashtra

It is the duty of all of you that you must

battle with all your might.

If you need

to make a sacrifice

then you must do so gladly

and obtain victory.

In other words

slaying me is your duty.

If...

If any of you

forsakes this duty

then

it will break my heart.

My death

will become excruciatingly agonizing.

Even after listening to all this

if you still have a question

then go ahead and ask.

- But, grandsire... - I know, dear.

The very thought of my death

makes your heart shudder.

However

it is a moment of good fortune for me

because the journey of a very long and unsuccessful life

is drawing to an end.

In my life

I have seen nothing but misery

and now

it is time for my miseries to end.

And

I can have

that good fortune from all of you.

Until now

you have obeyed all my orders.

Today

you must obey one last order

of your grandsire.

While slaying me

even if your heart shudders

your hands must not tremble!

I have only one question for you, grandsire.

You are illuminating to us the path to have the kingdom.

But who will dispense sound advice to us

to govern it?

Grandsire.

It was your oath.

That until you help the throne of Hastinapur

get a king who is both righteous and competent

you will not leave this world.

With this oath as our basis.

Did we begin this war.

However, after our victory.

If you are not there,

then who will test us?

Who will test us, grandsire?

Grandsire.

Until a judge gives the permission.

No deed can truly be called just.

When the son of Dhritarashtra get slain by me over here.

Who will assure us that this is not murder.

But justice?

If you leave, then this battlefield

will be robbed of rightnousness forever, grandsire.

Forever...

All of you are correct.

A few of my duties have not been fulfilled yet.

I give you my word.

That before I leave this world.

I shall discharge all my duties.

You must expunge yourselves of all your suspicions.
