Donn as Irish Yama — Lord of Death, Gatherer of Mankind

“‘Donn, who is described as king of the Sons of Mil, may then be compared with Yama himself, king of the Fathers, the first of men that died, the first that departed to the other world… the gatherer of mankind. Yama chose death, and found out the path for many, and he gives the souls of the dead a resting place.‘”

The Donn/Yama cognate. Irish pre-Christian Lord of Death = Indian Lord of Death. Both are “the first of men that died” and both serve as guides to the afterlife.
