Yaksha: "What is the most praiseworthy thing of all?"

Yudhishtira: "Skill."

Yaksha: "The most valuable possession?"

Yudhishtira: " Knowledge."

Yaksha: "The greatest treasure?"

Yudhishtira: "Health."

Yaksha: "The greatest happiness?"

My mother once told me about the conversation between Yaksha and Yudhishthira from the Mahabharata. I recently read a Hindi version of it online, and it inspired me to create a comic based on the dialogue. The comic captures only a small snippet of their exchange, and I referred to the translation I found here.

All illustrations were made on Procreate.
