All Vishnu devotees know that Bheeshmacharyaa was a devotee of Shree Mahaa Vishnu and Lord Shree Krishna. when Draupadi was abused by Duschaadana in Duryodhana'a court, she requested Vishnu devotees such as Dronaachaaryaa and Bheeshmaacharyaa. But still none intervened and protected Draupadi. Finally when Deaupadi realised that only Lord Shree Krishna can save her, she left holding her saree and called Him with both hands. Immediately Lord Shree Krishna saved her from abuse.
I used to think why Bheeshmaacharyaa could not stop the abuse? In a Divine Discourse, Shree Satyatma Theertha Swaamiji of Uttaradi Mutt says that it was the polluted rice provided by evil minded Duryodhanaa that prevented Bheesmacharyaa from taking any action to stop the abuse to Draupadi.
When Bheesmacharyaa was very thirsty and asked for water, when on his death bed of arrows, Duryodhanaa brought some water. But Bheeshmaacharyaa refused to take it. Arjuna was nearby. He shot an arrow on the Earth and caused the sacred river Gangaa to flow into the mouth of Bheeshmaacharyaa. Thus Bheeshmaacharyaa got his thirst quenched.
When Dharmaraajaa felt guilty that he was the cause of deaths of the Kauravaas, Lord Shree Krishna asked Bheeshmaacharyaa to explain to Dharmaraja that he need not feel guilty and that he did the right thing that led to the destruction of Kauravaas. This is where Bheeshmaacharyaa gave the revered 'Vishnu Sahasranaamam' (meaning 'Countless Names of Shree Mahaa Vishnu).
