And Pritha's son Vrikodara thought, 'I shall surely have to fight today. Let me, therefore, first appease my thirst. Then that bull of the Bharata race rushed forward with the intention of drinking. Thereupon the Yaksha said, 'O child, do not commit this rash act! This lake hath already been in my possession.
He also goeth to everlasting hell who though in possession of wealth, never giveth away nor enjoyeth himself from avarice, saying, he hath none.

I do not know what thou mayst think of all this, O Yaksha? The Yaksha asked, 'What hath been said to be the sign of asceticism? And what is true restraint? What constitutes forgiveness.
"With these, and other similar speeches, they so prejudiced the young king against his guardian and minister, that he would gladly have got rid of him at once, but was deterred by fear of the power of his Yaksha wife.
Sikhandini was so transformed into a male by Yaksha named Sthuna from the desire of doing her good.
