Once the Pandava brothers were in the exile. The eldest brother was Yudhishthira. The other brothers were Bhima, Arjuna, Sahadeva and Nahakula. One day, they saw a deer in the forest. They decided to hunt it. So, they started to chase it. They reached very far from their place. They got very thirsty and tired. Therefore, they stopped for a rest. They sat under a tree. Meanwhile, Yudhishthira sent Sahadeva to search for water. But Sahadeva didn't get back. So, he sent other brothers one by one. Hours passed but they didn't corne back. Yudhishthira was worried about his brothers. So, he decided to look for them himself. He began to follow their footsteps. Finally, he came to a magical pool. There was clean and fresh water in the pool. Then he saw his four brothers iving beside the pool. They were either senseless or dead. He was greatly shocked. He couldn't control himself and began to weep. Anyway he went near the pool to drink some water. Suddenly, he heard a warning voice. The voice said that one must answer his questions before drinking water. The unseen speaker said that he was Yaksha. He said that his four brothers had ignored his warning. So, he had punished them. 

Yudhishthira stopped and got ready to answer his questions. He answered all the questions wisely. At last, Yaksha announced that he was impressed with his answers. So, he wanted to reward Yudhishthira. He said that he would recover only one of his brothers. He asked Yudhishthira to choose any one brother. In reply, Yudhishthira said that he wanted to save Na hakula. Yaksha was surprised. He asked Yudhishthira why. Yudhishthira stated that Nahakula was the son of his step-mother, Madri. So, he wanted to save the lineage of his step-mother. Then, Yaksha was deeply impressed. He anpeared before Yudhishthira. He was Yama, the god of justice and death. He said that he wanted to help them, so, he had tested their intelligence. At last, he revived all the brothers of Yudhishthira. He promised to help them in future, too.
