The Yaksha said: These brothers of you, O king, though again and again forbidden by me. Wanted to take away water by force. I have therefore killed them. He that has a love for his life ought not, O king, to drink this water. O Partha, do not attempt it. This (pond) has been taken possession of by me before. O son of Kunti, answering my questions, you may drink and take away water.
