Yudhishthira said : O Yaksha, I do not want what you have already taken possession of. Virtuous persons never like, that one should extol his own self, O most exalted of creatures. I shall answer your questions according to my knowledge. Ask me.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच न चाहं कामये यक्ष तव पूर्वपरिग्रहम्। कामं नैतत् प्रशंसन्ति सन्तो हि पुरुषाः सदा॥ यदात्मना स्वमात्मानं प्रशंसे पुरुषर्षभ। यथाप्रज्ञं तु ते प्रश्नान् प्रतिवक्ष्यामि पृच्छ माम्॥
