Yaksha (Giant) represents time which consumes day and night all sentient beings who are deluded, overcome by ignorance. He is a fierce creature who stands for the 3 defilements. His appearance is extremely ugly and frightening.
The 5 skulls symbolise the 5 aggregates (body, feeling, perception, intentional activities and consciousness) which are not to be attached to as they are impermanent and in constant flux throughout the lifetime of a human being.
The tiger's skin which covers Yaksha signifies the mental intoxication and latent dispositions which envelop and cling to sentient beings, consuming them day and night.
The tiger's Tail means recurrent life (birth and death process).
The Birth and Death process with Yin and Yang background.

2. LOBHA (Greed) - like a rooster which always boasts arrogance to crave sensual pleasures to please its sexual desire.
3. DOSA (Hatred) - like a snake who silently attacks anyone, who disturbs its comfort.
