why did Yama take the form of yaksha
Answers
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.
The crane then took the form of Yaksha and asked Yudhishtir 18 questions which had to be answered with metaphysical and philosophical ramifications.
