Yama is a post created for specific jeevatamans to take charge of Judgement of Jeevatmas and their karma in Bhuloka/Mrityuloka. Before Yama or Dharmaraja who was the king of Yamaloka ? Also, in which Manvantara and Maha Yuga he was appointed as the God of death?

@SachinBahukhandi In the Vedas, Yama is said to have been the first mortal who died. By virtue of precedence, he became the ruler of the departed wikipedia– Ankit SharmaFeb 18, 2016 at 8:34
