In the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata, a yaksha tests Yudhishthira with questions. One of them asks which path to follow. In the Ganguli translation, Yudhishthira answers: “Argument leads to no certain conclusion, the Srutis are different from one another.” No sage’s opinion is accepted by all. “The truth about religion and duty is hid in caves: therefore, that alone is the path along which the great have trod.”
