94 What was the only lie told by Yudhishthira?
Answer: To Drona that his son was dead

The elevated chariot of Yudhishthira sank back to the ground when he told Drona that his son Aswatthama was dead. Bheema had actually killed an elephant called Ashwatthama. But to make Drona put down his weapons and give his army a chance to kill Drona, Yudhishthira had to lie for the sake of his army. This was considered great Adharma because, Drona specifically asked Yudhishthira for the truth; he knew Yudhishthira would never lie to anybody. Later on, this lie was excused by Krishna.
