The thirteenth mantra begins a row of three, the hardest in the whole list: Yama, Antaka, Mṛtyu — the judge of the dead, the ender, and death itself.
Yama is the god of death and at the same time dharmarāja, “the king of the law”; he is no executioner but a judge. We saw him in the list of the lokapālas in the thirty-eighth verse of the fourth Upaniṣad of the pūrva, where he was named dharmajña, “the knower of the law”.
To him came Naciketas in the Kaṭha Upaniṣad, and from him received the teaching of the deathless.
That is why death in these books is no enemy but a teacher: death is the one questioned.
And now it is said that Yama is Rāma.
So the judgment over the dead is no stranger's hand. He who judges and He who in the third chapter promised to free everyone into whose ear the mantra is whispered — are one person.
The next two mantras will carry this thought to its limit.
