The demon Yakṣas are by nature very heinous, and by their demoniac power of illusion they can create many strange phenomena to frighten one who is less intelligent.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

These visions were terrifying to those without courage (amanasvinām). The Yakṣas were like demons.
