Gulikan is a local form of the Hindu god of death, Yama.     Everyone including the gods is afraid to look at Gulikan. 
   Gulikan’s position in the horoscope indicates when the person will die.

Be wary, man,

I’m scary, man.

I’m nice as pie.
I know when you’re gonna die.
 
I’ll let you live though.
I’ll let you grow.

But don’t blame me,
If things go awry,

 If things go bang
In the night,

That’s me alright –
I’m mixing, mixing
 
My mischief.

 Even if you don’t
Believe in me,

 I’ll cause you grief.

Poem by Linda Marshall
