When I heard, O suta, that Dharma in the form of a yaksha met with the King of Dharma (Yudhishthira), and that he answered the questions put to him correctly—then, O Sanjaya, I lost hope of victory.

In the trial of the Yaksha-prashna, the god Dharma himself, appearing as a yaksha, questions Yudhishthira—and he answers flawlessly. The devotee is firm in the knowledge of dharma and passes even a divine test. His knowledge is not abstract but living, proven in deed and word; and it is precisely for this that the father of dharma acknowledges his son. Where true righteousness is, there too is unerring discernment—a gift of those devoted to the Lord.
