Answer 2

Answer:

Yudhishthira, the eldest prince of the Pandavas is always projected as a person who  followed the tenets of Dharma and is held in high esteem because of this. That he was a  wise man who was held in great reverence is evident from two noteworthy incidents – the „Yaksha Prasna‟ and his conversation with Nahusha, the serpent. Both these incidents bring  to fore Yudhishthira‟s extraordinary intellectual competency in the moralities of life and establishes him as an authority on „Dharma‟. The „Yaksha Prasna‟ is one of the most  important sections of the Mahabharata which stands on par with the „Vidura Neethi‟(the  discourse on „Dharma‟ by Vidura) on aspects of morals and ethics. It is in the form of a  dialogue between a Yaksha (a semi-divine being) and Yudhishthira. While in exile, the  Pandavas once officiating wander deep into the forest searching for the „Arani‟ (sticks used by the  priest to start the fire of a Yagna) of a Brahmin priest. Having lost their way and  parched with thirst, Yudhishthira asks Sahadeva to fetch water. Sahadeva finds a pond  nearby and seeks to quench his thirst before taking water to his brothers. As he is about to  drink the water, a stern voice warns him that the pond was its territory and whoever wanted  to drink the water should first answer its questions lest be punished with death. Sachdeva  chooses to ignore the voice, proceeds to drink the water and falls dead instantly. The same fate befalls Nakula, Bhima and Arjuna.
