Yama was incorporated into the Buddhist pantheon after Manjushri (in the guise of Yamantaka) allegedly brought him under control. He evolved into a major Tibetan Buddhist deity. As Yama Dharmaraja, he is lord of wealth and protector of Buddhism as well as king of Hell. He destroys delusion. Yama Dharmaraja judges souls in the Tibetan Buddhist afterlife. He protects Buddhist practitioners and monasteries from destruction. Fierce Yama Dharmaraja is a favourite subject of meditational Thangka paintings.
