Bhishma

A central figure in the Indian epic Mahabharata, known for his vow of lifelong celibacy and his unwavering loyalty to the throne of Hastinapura.
Noun

This term refers specifically to a proper noun from Sanskrit literature and Hindu mythology. As a name of a legendary figure, it is used exclusively to denote the individual characterized by his "terrible" vow and his role as the patriarch of the Kuru dynasty.

Because it is a proper noun referring to a unique historical or mythological person, it does not follow standard countability rules and is used only in the singular.
