Shloka 5
गोप्रदान-माहात्म्ये गोलोक-प्रश्नः
Gopradāna-Māhātmya: Inquiry into Goloka
अथ प्राह यम: कंचित् पुरुषं कृष्णवाससम् । रक्ताक्षमूर्थ्वरीमाणं काकजंघाक्षिनासिकम्
atha prāha yamaḥ kañcit puruṣaṃ kṛṣṇavāsasam | raktākṣam ūrdhvaromāṇaṃ kākajaṅghākṣināsikam ||
毗湿摩说道：随后，阎摩对一人开口——其身着黑衣，双目赤红，体毛竖立；其胫、其目、其鼻，皆如乌鸦一般。此处，正法之主向其可怖的使者下令，昭示道德法则（达摩）的施行由受命之代理执行，而业行之果报则以不偏不倚的权威加以裁断与落实。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames Yama as the impartial enforcer of dharma: moral law is not merely abstract but administered through agents, and deeds inevitably bring corresponding consequences under a just cosmic order.
Bhīṣma narrates that Yama addresses a particular fearsome, black-clad figure—described with red eyes and crow-like features—indicating he is about to command or dispatch an attendant in the course of judging or executing the results of actions.
