ततोनुरूपमायं च यमं तस्मादनंतरम् । सप्तमं च तथा वायुमष्टमं निर्हृतिं तथा
tatonurūpamāyaṃ ca yamaṃ tasmādanaṃtaram | saptamaṃ ca tathā vāyumaṣṭamaṃ nirhṛtiṃ tathā
បន្ទាប់មកគឺ អនុរូប និង មាយា; ហើយបន្ទាប់ពីពួកគេភ្លាមៗគឺ យម។ ទីប្រាំពីរគឺ វាយុ និងទីប្រាំបីគឺ និរហ្រឹតិ ផងដែរ។

Concept: Cosmic order includes restraint and consequence: Yama embodies moral accountability; Vāyu sustains life; Nirhṛti marks decay—together urging disciplined living.
Application: Live as if accountable: keep vows, speak truth, regulate breath and habits; use prāṇāyāma and daily self-audit to reduce ‘nirhṛti’ (entropy) in life.

FAQs
It functions as an enumeration, naming figures in sequence (including Yama, Vāyu, and Nirhṛti) and assigning ordinal positions (seventh, eighth).
Yes. Yama is the lord of justice/death, Vāyu is the wind-god, and Nirhṛti is a destructive/inauspicious power often associated with the southwest direction in Purāṇic and Vedic-derived cosmology.
By placing Yama within a structured list of cosmic forces, the text suggests moral order (dharma and karmic consequence) is integrated into the fabric of creation, not separate from it.
