Once when Pandavas, great devotees of Lord were in exile they were extremely thirsty while nomadic in the forest. Yudhistir asked his brothers to search some lake nearby. When after long time they didn’t return he himself went in search of them. No sooner he found them near a lake in unconscious state than a supernatural voice resonated, “Your brothers didn’t care to answer my questions before drinking water from my lake hence their current state. If you too don’t answer you will follow them.” Yudhistir nodded solemnly. One of the many questions asked by the supernatural voice was “What is most astonishing thing in this world?” Yudhistir impeccably replied “One sees death everywhere around but he thinks he is an exception. This is most astonishing.”
