Nārada informed Yudhīṣṭhira about religion, pleasure, and profit, in the form of questions about his conduct. By following his advice Yudhīṣṭhira conquered the whole earth (II, 5). Yudhīṣṭhira answered that he observed all those rules. Then he asked Nārada if he had ever seen a palace like his. Nārada (Brahmarsḥi, v. 281) replied that no palace among men was like his, but that he would describe unto him the palaces of Pitṛrāja (i.e. Yama), Varuṇa, Indra, the dweller on Kailāsa (i.e. Kubera), and Brahmán, always worshipped by gods, Pitṛs and Sādhyas, etc.
