It is generally believed that Bʼalam is the third Yaxun Bʼalam; "6-Tun" was later added to the glyph of his name, distinguishing him from his grandson, Yaxun Bʼalam IV (also known as Bird Jaguar IV).
Reign
Bʼalam ruled Yaxchilan from 631 to 681.
On the stairs of Temple 33, he is depicted as being on the eighth step playing ball on the date August 27, 636.
In either 646 or 647, Bʼalam captured a lord from the Hix Witz polity, a Maya center. He noted the capital of the Hix Witz polity was located at Zapote Bobal during that time.
