BHISHMA
Bhishma is the grandfather of both the Pandavas and the Kauravas. The Pandavas, unable to withstand Bhishma’s prowess, decided to put Shikhandi, who had been a woman in a prior life in front of Bhishma, as Bhishma has taken a vow not to attack a woman, Arjuna positioned himself behind Shikhandi, protecting himself from Bhishma’s attack. Soon, the great warrior fell from his chariot.
