Did Draupadi mock Bhishma when he was in his deathbed?
Did Draupadi mock Bhishma when he was in his deathbed?
After the Kurukshetra war, when Bhishma was lying on the bed of arrows waiting for his death, Draupadi and the Pandavas came to seek his wisdom. At that moment, Draupadi did ask Bhishma why he had stayed silent during her humiliation in the Kaurava court, during the infamous vastraharan. It wasn’t mockery, but rather a deep, painful question that reflected the emotional turmoil she had been through. She genuinely wanted to know how someone as wise and righteous as Bhishma could remain silent in such a crucial moment.
Bhishma, in his reply, acknowledged his failure. He explained that at that time, he was bound by his loyalty to the throne of Hastinapur, and he was under the influence of his oath to serve the king. He admitted that his judgment was clouded, and he didn’t act as he should have. He said that now, lying on the bed of arrows, he had clarity and could see the error of his ways. So, while Draupadi questioned him, it wasn’t out of spite or mockery—it was more of seeking closure, and Bhishma's response was one of remorse and reflection.
