Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia1) Dhūmorṇā (धूमोर्णा).—The wife of King Yama (God of Death). (Mahābhārata Vana Parva, Chapter 117, Stanza 9).
2) Dhūmorṇā (धूमोर्णा).—The wife of hermit Mārkaṇḍeya. (Mahābhārata Anuśāsana Parva, Chapter 146, Stanza 4).
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Dhūmorṇā (धूमोर्णा) is the wife of Yama, whose iconography is described in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—According to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the image of Yama should be made along with his wife Dhūmorṇā. The skin tone of Dhūmorṇā is like the colour of blue lotus and she sits on the left lap of her husband. The image of Dhūmorṇā should have two hands having mātuluṅga i.e., a kind of citron tree, in her left hand and her right hand should be placed on the back of her husband.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
