Dear dhammafriends

Could anybody tell me why the term 'yam.' is in the following sentence? What does 'yam.' mean here? Thank you in advance.

yam. kho so, mahaaraaja, set.t.hi gahapati taggarasikhim. paccekasambuddham. pin.d.apaatena pat.ipaadesi, tassa kammassa vipaakena sattakkhattum. sugatim. saggam. lokam. upapajji.
[Now, sir, by the effect of his action in bestowing alms on the Silent Buddha, Tagarasikkhi, he was reborn seven times to a happy destiny in heavenly world.]( PTS's translation)

with metta
