why did yama take the form of the yaksha
Answers
Answer:
Yama had taken the form of Yaksha in order to test Yudhishtra's knowledge. After all the Pandavs took to search for the mysterious deer, Yudhishtir came across the dead bodies of his brothers. On examining closely he realized it has something to do with the crane that was lounging in the lake.
Yaksha was Yama the God of Death. He had taken the form of Yaksha to see and test Yudhishthira. He asked Yudhishthira many questions. Some of them are given below : 1. What rescues man in danger? 2.
