The word Magha means power and also means gift. The symbol of Magha, a throne, is an image of inherited power.
It is the Pitra (ancestral spirits) who are the deities of Magha which signifies that we inherit power from our ancestors. This literally indicates inheritance of power, career, fortune and qualities. Such inheritance really comes as a result of efforts made in our previous births, so Magha also indicates powers and abilities carried from past lives.
Magha is symbolic of power that has been granted or gifted. Like police are conferred with power by the government, the Pitra are empowered by Yama.
The Pitra are not particularly powerful on their own, but the power given to them by Yama allows them to carry out their work unchallenged. They can lead people into and through the process of death even against the most powerful Gods.
