High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yama the name of the Buddhist dharmapala and judge of the dead, who presides over the Buddhist Narakas, "Hells" or "Purgatories". Although ultimately based on the god Yama of the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Yama has developed different myths and different functions from the Hindu deity.
