Dear Friends:
In the SBG, there are a few references about the yaksha and raksha. For
example, Kuvera is their leader (10.23) and are described to be the objects
of worship of people with raja-guna (17.4).
Normally, the yakshas are known as the keepers of wealth and the rakshas
are known as perverse powers.
With best regards,
Dhruba.
