Yamarāja is not ordinary person. He is given in charge; he is also one of the authorities out of twelve authorities. Balir vaiyāsakir vayam (SB 6.3.20). He is one of the authorities about religious performances. So he knows everything even from within his mind, manasaiva pūrva-rūpaṁ vipaśyati, what this person was in the past, because everything is going on exactly on the rulings of the prakṛti, material nature. It cannot be changed.
