Yet Bhishma’s oath, both stern and strong, Bound him to duty, right, and wrong.\u003Cbr>He gave his future, joy, and name, To honor love and keep the claim. No crown, no bride, no fleeting mirth, Could weigh against his sacred worth.\u003Cbr>Through sacrifice, through pain, through time, He bore the cost, both steep and prime.
