Johnson, in his Oriental Religions, says, "The Latin Dii Manes and the Greek Theoi Chthonioi cor- respond perfectly to the Vedic Pitris, blessed divini- ties, who watch over their descendants, and expect their tributes of holy rites ". In the later books of the Rig-Veda, the belief in life after death stands impersonated in Yama. Yama and his twin sister Yami, are, according to Professors Roth and Whitney, the first human pair, the originators of the race. " As the Hebrew conception closely con...nected the parents of mankind by making the woman formed from a portion of the body of the man, so by the Indian tradition they are placed in the relationship of twins. " In the tenth book of the Rig-Veda there is a curious dialogue between Yami and her brother Yama, where she implores him to make her his wife, on the ground (i) that "the Creator made us for man and wife, while yet in the womb " ; and (2) that the " immortals " desire that Yama, " the one sole mortal, "' should leave a descendant behind.
