After a few days of the Kurukshetra battle, Duryodhana, the eldest of the Kauravas, was upset with Bhishma, as he thought Bhishma was not giving his heart and soul to the war. This led to Bhishm gifting Duryodhana a powerful celestial weapon, as the arrows were strong enough to kill the five Pandavas and end the war in an instant.

But Lord Krishna stepped in and turned the tide of battle.
