Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Distinction from the deity Yama<br> Like Rudra (114) and Śiva (27, 601), the name Yama appearing in the Vishnu Sahasranāma is ‘not’ a reference to Yama-Dharmarāja (the god of death) but to the cosmic principle of ‘yama’ — restraint, self-control, governance — that Viṣṇu embodies absolutely. Yama (the deity of death) administers karmic justice under Viṣṇu's supreme authority; Viṣṇu as Yamaḥ is the ultimate principle from which Yama's authority derives. **Gītā context<br> The Bhagavad Gītā (10.29): ‘"Yamasmi Yama-sāmyatāṃ"‘ — "Among the controllers (restrainers), I am Yama." The Lord here identifies Himself with the principle of ‘yamana’ (restraining/controlling) — the cosmic force that holds the universe within its proper bounds, prevents chaos, and maintains the orderly unfolding of dharma.
