The Yaksha Prashna is a section of the larger Hindu work, the Mahabharata, and is designed to explain to children the foundations of their spiritual heritage through a conversation between Yaksha and Yudhishthira. "Yaksha is the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots. They appear in Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology." -- Wikipedia "In the great Hindu epic Mahabharata, Yudhisthira, the eldest son of King Pandu and Queen Kunti, was king of Hastinapura and Indraprastha, and 'World Emperor'. He was the principal protagonist of the Kurukshetra War, and for his unblemished piety, was known as Dharmaraja (Most pious one). Some sources describe him to be an adept warrior with the spear." -- Wikipedia.
