to help him retrieve his fire kindler.

mysteries for the characters. It isolates the Pandavas, making them rely on their skills and
each other. The magical elements in the forest like the deer and the enchanted pool, add

Read, reflect and write

1. Yudhishthira understands that the disembodied voice belongs to a supernatural being.


He does not ignore it and drink the water of the pool to quench his thirst; rather, he looks for
an opportunity to revive his brothers. Yudhishthira understands that there is some magic
involved and answers the questions politely. He does not behave like his brothers did. He is
respectful and patient and waits for the magic to reveal itself. As a result of this, he passes
the test. His brothers, on the other hand, drank from the enchanted pool and did not regard
the warning that the voice gave them.

2. Good conduct encourages us to be mindful of our words and actions. When we choose
to be kind and thoughtful instead of hurtful, we live without any burden on our
consciences. Also, when we treat people well, they often return the favor, creating a shared
sense of joy.

3. "Yudhishthira saves the day' is an example since he actually rescued his brothers by
using his wisdom.

4. Yudhishthira comes across as a sensible person who recognises that there is a


supernatural power in the forest. He answers the questions politely. His answers show that
he is a humble person, who does not place himself above all else. His ability to stay calm
and answer the yaksha's questions under pressure also demonstrates his composure and
intelligence.
