[This is from C.R. Rajagopalachari's rendition of the Mahabharata, a game of riddles, where Yudhisthira must answer all the questions of the Yaksha correctly in order to redeem his brothers.
PS: Yama is Death.]

"Every day, men see creatures depart to Yama's abode and yet, those who remain, seek to live forever. This verily is the greatest wonder."
