ANTAKA

Another name for Yama, the God of death and the ender of life in Hindu mythology. Antaka or the Lord Yama is also known as Yamaraj or King Yama, because he presides over the kingdom of Yamlok or the world of death. He is, therefore, also known as the king of death. Yamaraj is known to have a well managed and highly sophisticated administrative structure with such great portfolio holding ministers like Dharmapala who administers and keeps watching for promotion and preservation of noble deeds and all sorts of good things done by all the creatures and Chitragupta who maintains all records of the deeds of human being on earth, particularly their sins. All dead creatures are supposed to report to the offices of Yamaraj and are supposed to face the consequences in accordance with their deeds performed during their lifetime.
