While Bhismadeva was describing about the occupational duties the exact time of sun's running on the northern horizon duly appeared as it is desired by the mystics who die at their will.

The perfect Yogins or the mystics can leave this material body not being forced by the laws of material nature but at their sweet will at a suitable time and for the suitable planet desired by them. In the Bhawat Geeta (B.G. 8/14) it is said that self realised souls who have exactly identified with the interest of the Supreme Lord do generally or can leave their material body during the time of the Fire God's effulgence and at the period of running of the Sun on the northern horizon and thus achieve the transcendental sky. In the Vedas these favourable times are considered as auspicious for quitting the body and they are taken advantage of by the expert mystics who are in the perfection of the system. Perfection of Yoga means attainment of such supramental state as to leave the material body as the Yogi desires; and they can reach any planet within no time without any material vehicle like the Sputniks so much advertised by the less intelligent materialistic scientist. The Yogins can reach the highest planetary system within a very short time which is impossible by the materialist even by attempting to reach the highest planet for some millions of years at a speed of millions of miles per hour. This is a different science and Bhismadeva knew it well how to utilise it. He was just waiting for the suitable moment for quitting his material body and the golden opportunity arrived when the grand-father was instructing his noble grand-sons the Pandavas. He thus prepared himself to quit his body before the exhalted Lord Sri Krishna, the pious Pandavas and the great sages headed by Bhagawan Vyasa etc. all great Souls.
