Yami
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Vedic beliefs, Yamī is the first woman, along with her twin brother, Yama. The Rig Veda, in the tenth Mandala, contains a hymn in which they sing to each other. They were children of Surya in his form as Vivasvat, and his wife Saranya's "shadow," Chayya. She is also known as Yamuna.
In Tibetan beliefs, Yamī is a goddess of death and rules the female spirits of the underworld (Naraka). She is the consort of Yama, lord of the underworld.
