| | Yama (Hindu God) |
 | | In a vision, Yama, Ratri (goddess of night), Agni (god of fire, two-headed), Maya (goddess of dreams), and Kâli granted the Mahdi powers and weapons to fight the British. |
 | | From Yama, the Mahdi gained a fiery sword, from Ratri the power of "the night's shadows", from Agni sacrificial flame, from Maya the power to drive his enemies to despair with illusions, and from Kâli the wheel of destruction. |
 | | Yama's unique family comes from the fact that his father Surya took his brother's daughter Saranyu as a wife. |
