Overpowered by Hari's 诲奴迟补s, they reported to Yama (s.v.) and wanted to know the truth of the matter. Instructed by Yama as knower of Dharma and ordained by Hari, his messengers cherished Hari's glory, and did not go near his devotees.*

驰补尘补诲奴迟补 (啶ぎ啶︵啶�) is a name mentioned in the 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 (cf. XIII.4.50, XIII.4) and represents one of the many proper names used for people and places. Note: The 惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 (mentioning 驰补尘补诲奴迟补) is a Sanskrit epic poem consisting of 100,000 艣濒辞办补蝉 (metrical verses) and is over 2000 years old.
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)驰补尘补诲奴迟补 (啶ぎ啶︵啶�) refers to the 鈥渕essenger of Yama鈥�, whose iconography is described in the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擜ccording to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, the image of Yama should be made along with his two companions viz., Citragupta and K膩la. But the K膩艣yapa艣ilpa accepts Kinnara instead of K膩la. Again the 艢ilparatna accepts Kali instead of K膩la. In the 峁歡veda, two dogs of Yama are referred to as 测补尘补诲奴迟补 i.e., the messenger of Yama. So, there may be a connection between the relation of Citragupta, K膩la and Yama with the Vedic portrayal of the two dogs with Yama.
Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣ilpa艣膩stra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
