Vemanikapeta Yamaraja and niraya-pala are actually not hell-beings, but belong to the heaven of the Four Great Kings or Catumaharajika.

They are described as vemanikapeta, the beings that sometimes enjoy the fruitions of their meritorious kamma in heaven and sometimes suffer the results of their evil deeds in hell.

Because of particular kinds of kamma they are sent to perform their duties in this realm of misery by inflicting penalties on the hell-beings.
