One day the Pandava brothers went far from their dwelling place in search of deer in jungel.They saw a deer and followed it but the deer vanished.They felt very tried and thirsty.Yudhisthira could not walk any further.they also could not find any sign of water around them.So Yudhisthira sent Sahadeva to search water.Sahadeva went from there but he did not come back.Yudhisthira became worried and he sent Nakula.but Nakula also failed to return.Then Yudhisthira sent Bhima and Arjuna one by one.When they also did not return,Yudhisthira went himself following their foot steps to know what had happened to them.After some time he came to a clearing.He saw a beautiful pool where he saw the lotuses smiling at the sun.The water of the pool fresh,cool,and inviting.But at the same time,he saw another terrible scene.His all brother were lying on the bank of the pool.Their eyes were closed.
Yudhisthira became mournful.He prayed the god to take him also because he could not live without his dear brothers.He cried bitterly.However,he could not his thirst.When he bent down to drink the water,the sound of the Yaksha ordered him that he could not drink the water until the answered his questions.He had given the same order to the other pandava brothers but they had ignored it and he had cursed them.However,Yudhisthira was very wise and patient.He requested the Yaksha to ask his questions and promised that he would answer them as well as he could.
The yaksha asked him many questions that he answered sincerely and rightly.The yaksha was very much impressed by his replies and he promised to revive on of his brothers.Yudhisthira was very just,fair,truth and wise.So he requested the Yaksha to save nakula,the son of his step mother.The Yaksha was even more impressed by yudhisthira's wisdom,justic snd fairness.
So he decided to save all yudhisthira's brothers.he appeared before yudhisthira as yama,yudhisthira's heavenly father,the god of justice and death.he revived all the brothers of yudhisthira.he also advised them to remember him in future difficulties.Then he suggested them to go to matsya with Draupdi and spend the rest exile period there.
Summary is alright and can be helpful for the students of BA, BBS Ist. But, there're several punctuation errors.Furthermore, question answer part between Yama and Yudhisthira has been omitted which,i suppose, is the crux of the story.
