FAQs
Dharmarāja refers to Yama, the cosmic judge who administers the results of karma and assigns consequences after death, including experiences in various births.
Yoni literally means a womb, and by extension a mode or category of birth—i.e., the embodied condition one takes due to past actions.
It underscores karmic accountability: harmful or sinful actions lead to suffering and lower or painful forms of rebirth, administered according to dharma.
