如果你要问我怎样从这些像看出是善是恶，或是什么姿势造型之类的，我就没有办法回答你了。
我在这里简单的以佛教立场来回答你的问题。
在泰国，最出名的夜叉像，当然是玉佛寺的那几尊。
而现在我们看到的，都是以它作为sample。所以，出现在玉佛寺的，应该也算是善的吧！
大家应该知道四大天王吧。
于东方是提头赖吒天王（Dhatarattha持国天王），
于南方是毗楼勒天王(Virulha增长天王)，
于西方是毗楼博叉天王（Virupakkha广目天王），
于北方是俱毗罗天王（Kuvera,多闻天王），
这四大天王是有名的世间守护者。
而夜叉则由北方的天王统领。
夜叉（yakkha ）：或译药叉，捷疾有力的大力鬼，力量极其强大，且具神通大力。药叉多住在天上，或深山穷谷，偏僻海岛，或游离虚空，行迹不定。药叉的性情不一，有的穷凶极恶，有的善良和顺。
A class of non-human beings generally described as amanussa. They are of many different kinds: spirits, ogres, dryads, ghosts, spooks. Generally speaking, the Yakkha decadent divinities, beings half-deified,having a deva’s supernatural powers, particularly as regards influencing people. They can transfer thenselve at will, to any place, with their abodes, and work miracles, such as assuming any shape at will. Their abode is their self-created palace, which is anywhere, in the air, in trees, etc. ordinary the attitude of them towards man is one of benevolence. They are interested in the spiritual welfare of the human being whom they come in contact and somewhat resemble tutelary genii.
( Dictionary of Pali Proper Names, pg 675,PTS)
根据佛经，四大天王曾经请佛陀接受他们的供养，就是以下这个经。
天王说，如果佛弟子被恶夜叉kacau的话，就念这个经。夜叉王就会派马仔来收拾他们。
所以，这个gatha是最有power来驱掉不好的邪灵。每次泰国师父念经，里面通常会念到这个。
所以，大家可以学起来，自己救自己。
