I know those two go at it like a couple lion cubs.In order to set the record straight, after I inquired to Shiva about why this is, and he commanded Vishnu to relate to me the truth.When I inquired to Vishnu about who was Supreme Deity.

There is a certain amount of discomfort in a situation such as bhishma was in at 446 years old.This mistaken ideal has in fact caused much strife between Vishnu and Shiva. This may be the origin of the idea that Vishnu is Supreme Deity.Understanding that bhishma has a bizillion arrows in him, there is a better than good chance that poor bhishma may have misspoken.Shiva says bhishma was in no pain, but had a lot on his mind. Tune MB padhi hai kya.there were 10 warriors who r far more better than arjuna.but unfortunately all were in wrong sidelast mein jab 18 days ka yudhh karke arjuna rath se utarta hai.srikrishna aur hanuman utterte hai torath mein blast hota hai.kyoki because of srikrishna and hanumana protection and help arjuna was defeating big big heroeseither by potential or wrong waysfirst read MB than write.bhishma was the strongest warrior of that time after srikrishna who was himself the supreme god.he can kill all pandavas but was bounded by his vow which he had given to draupadi accidentally.

So from this day 58 days i.e on Magh Shuddha Astami.It should be a quite long time to stay with arrows piecred through the body.
