A highly intelligent blood, Yama has invented weapons for all the Vedic powers, objects particular to their spheres. He doesn't deal with deities outside the pantheon, though Yen-Wang-Yeh of the Celestial Bureaucracy stops by Yamasadena on occasion do discuss matters of mutual interest. As one of the Adityas (the children of the now-vanished Aditi), Yama deals mostly with his brothers and sisters: Surya, Savitri, Puchan, Rudra, Tvashtri, Vishnu, Mitra, and Varuna.
