Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Can one of the learned members direct to a web site that has a complete version of this story (in Mahabharta) of Yuddhistra. The story goes something like this. The five Pandva brothers are out wandering and become thirsty. Upon reaching a water source, a supernatural entity (the Daksha) tells them they can only drink the water after they have successfully answered his questions. ......When Yuddishtra's "warrior" brothers try to take the water one by one (by force), they are killed. Yuddishtra alone is left and answers all the questions. Would someone know where the story is translated well and all the questions Yudishtra is asked along with all his answers. Thanks Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 friends, the best question by yaksha and not daksha is: " What is the greatest wonder in the world?" reply by Yuddishtra is: "Every day, men see creatures depart to yama's abode and yet, those remain, seek to live for ever. this verily is the greatest wonder" after this the yaksha posed many questions and answered them all. this is in rajaji's Mahabharata book as well. pranams cdr bvn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Thank you cdr bvnji. Sorry for the Daksha and Yaksha mixup. I thought someone used the term Daksha. This question regarding creatures "departing for yama's abode" was the one I was looking for as well. Will pass this on to HS.
