Bhishma was capable of winning the war on his own, but he recognized that he was fighting the war in the wrong direction, which is why he accepted defeat. Bhishma Pitamah had the boon of death. He left his body when the sun rose.

According to mythological beliefs, Bhishma Pitamah left his body on the Ashtami Tithi of the Magha month, following which the Pandavas performed tarpan and Pind Daan rites for Bhishma Pitamah’s soul’s peace on the Dwadashi day.
