यम (yama) [Printed book page 0809-c]
Yama, as, m. a rein, curb, bridle (Ved.); a

driver, charioteer (Ved.); restraining, controlling,

taming, keeping in check, restraint, (vācāṃ yamaḥ,

restraint of words, silence); self-control, any great

moral duty or observance, (as opposed to niyama,

a minor duty or observance, see Manu IV. 204;

some of the Yamas are as follow, ‘restraining the

organs of sense,’ ‘chastity, and the control of all

sensual desires,’ ‘refraining from violence or injury,’

‘patience,’ ‘truthfulness,’ ‘honesty’); a twin, one of

a pair or couple, a fellow, (yamau, ‘the twins,’ an

epithet of the Aśvins and of their twin children by

Mādrī, called Nakula and Sahadeva); a symbolical

expression for the number two; N. of the god who

presides over the Pitṛs, q. v., and rules the spirits of

the dead, (he is regarded in Post-vedic mythology

as the appointed Judge and ‘Restrainer’ or Punisher

of the dead, in which capacity he corresponds to the

Greek Pluto and to Minos; he is one of the eight

guardians of the world as regent of the South quarter,

in which direction in some region of the lower

world is his abode, called Yama-pura; thither a soul,

when it leaves the body, is said to repair, and there,

after the recorder, Citra-gupta, has read an account

of its actions kept in a book called Agra-sandhānī,

it receives a just sentence, either ascending to heaven

or to the world of the Pitṛs or being driven down

to one of the twenty-one hells [called the awful

provinces of the kingdom of Yama] to be born

again, after undergoing its appointed recompense

of bliss or pain, in higher or lower forms of being;

in unison with these functions Yama is sometimes

called ‘king of Justice’ or simply ‘Justice’ [see

dharma-rāja, dharma], sometimes ‘Rod-bearer’

or ‘Noose-bearer’ [see daṇḍa-dhara, pāśin], some-

times ‘lord of the Pitṛs or Manes’ [see pitṛ-pati],

sometimes ‘king of Death’ or simply ‘Death’ [see

mṛtyu-rāj, mṛtyu, kāla, antaka], sometimes

‘god of the Śrāddha’ [see śrāddha-deva]: in the

Vana-parvan of the Mahā-bhārata, 1. 16754, where

there is a story of his appearing to a dying man, he

is described as dressed in blood-red garments, with

a glittering form, a crown on his head, glowing

eyes, and, like Varuṇa, holding a noose, with which

he binds the spirit after drawing it from the body,

in size about the measure of a man's thumb: he is

otherwise represented as grim in aspect, green in

colour, clothed in red, riding on a buffalo, and

holding a club in one hand and noose in the other:

he is said to possess two four-eyed watch-dogs, called
Page0810-a+ 81

Karbura [= Cerberus?], ‘spotted,’ and Śyāma,

‘dark,’ which guard the road to his abode: in the

later mythology he is always represented as a terrible

deity inflicting tortures, called yātanā, on departed

souls: according to some the earlier legends point

to the original meanings of his name being ‘twin,’

and make him a kind of first man, Yama and his

twin sister Yamī being the first pair of beings

born from Vivasvat, ‘the Sun,’ and his wife Sa-

raṇyū; the seventh Manu, another form of the first

man, being also born from the Sun, and so regarded

as a brother of Yama, [see especially Ṛg-veda X. 10,

part of which is ascribed to the authorship of Yama

Vaivasvata, and cf. Vaivasvata]; Yama is, how-

ever, described as resisting sexual alliance with his

sister; Yama is also regarded as the regent of

the Nakṣatra Apabharaṇī or Bharaṇī, see yama-

devatā); N. of the author of a hymn to Viṣṇu;

of the author of a Dharma-śāstra; of the planet

Saturn, (Saturn being regarded as the son of Vivasvat

and Chāyā); of one of Skanda's attendants (men-

tioned together with Ati-yama); a crow [cf. yama-
