As noted about wisdom of Yamaraja earlier, it becomes evident in the Katha Upanishad (or Kathopanishad, as some call it in compound form)
Yamaraja gives wisdom regarding the nature of Atman, theory of karma & rebirth to the Nachiketas. (Ref - wisdomlib.org)

The Trayodashi (13th Tithi of lunar fortnight) of Margashirsha month is assigned as Yamadarshan Trayodashi.
If one checks the nakshatra of this particular tithi - lo & behold - it falls in Yamaraj's Bharani nakshatra! (Refer the screenshot below of 16 Dec 2021 panchang)

According to Mahabharat Vana Parva, Yamaraja is the father of Yudhishthira, and is said to be the lord of justice. This is just another confirmation of what's been noted in Atharvaveda 6.28.3

In summary, Yamaraja grants a person great wisdom, sense of judgement & discretion, as well as interest in the matters related to d3ath.
e.g. If a benefic Graha is placed in Bharani, its Dasha will be fruitful in south direction; and vice versa.

Yamaraja being the devta of justice & d3ath, one with good Bharani nakshatra placement may become lawyer/expert in matter of disputes after a person's d3ath (e.g. inheritances, insurance, etc.)
Many such real world applications can be derived. #Jyotish #Vedas #Upanishads 🙏
