Translation

In āvega arising from rain, the actions are running, holding an umbrella and crouching down. In āvega arising from calamity, the actions are discoloration of the face, astonishment and strong shaking of the body.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

When one is emotional because of rainfall, one takes an umbrella, and there is tension in his body. When there is emotion due to a sudden disturbance, one’s face becomes discolored, one becomes struck with wonder, and there is trembling of the body.
