Answer 2

The Yaksha who took the test of Yudhishthira, was not a Yaksha in real means. He was Dharmaraj Yama, the spiritual father of Yudhishthira. He asked many questions to Yudhishthir. Some of them are :-

‘The yaksha asked, “What makes the sun rise and who are those near him? What makes him set and on what is he established?”

Yudhishthira replied, “Brahma makes the sun rise and the gods remain near him. Dharma makes him set and he is established in truth.”

The yaksha asked, “How does one become learned? How does one attain greatness? O king! How does one obtain a second? How does one become intelligent?”

Yudhishthira replied, “One becomes learned through the sacred texts. One attains greatness through austerities. One obtains a second through perseverance. One becomes intelligent by serving the elders.”

The yaksha asked, “What is the divine trait of brahmanas? What dharma of theirs is like that of the virtuous? What are their human traits? Which of their traits are like that of those without virtue?”

‘Yudhishthira replied, “The study of the Vedas is their divine trait. Austerities are like that of the virtuous. Mortality is their human trait. Slander is like the conduct of those without virtue.”

‘The yaksha asked, “What is heavier than the earth? What is higher than the sky? What is swifter than the wind? What is more numerous than men?”

‘Yudhishthira replied, “The mother is heavier than the earth. The father is higher than the sky. The mind is swifter than the wind. Worries are more numerous than men.”
