Translation

The anubhāvas of raudra-bhakti-rasa are wringing the hands, grinding the teeth, reddening of the eyes, biting the lips, deeply contracting the brows, flinging the arms, beating others, silence, hanging the head down, heavy breathing, glancing with hostility, cursing, shaking the head, having the edges of the eyes turn pink, frowning, and quivering of the lower lip. All the sāttvika-bhāvas such as paralysis manifest.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

Sometimes there are other symptoms, like rubbing of the two hands, clacking of the teeth, clamping of the lips, moving of the eyebrows, scratching of the arms, lowering of the head, rapid breathing, uttering of strong words, nodding of the head, yellowishness at the corners of the eyes, and trembling lips. Sometimes the eyes turn red, and sometimes they fade. And there are sometimes chastisement and silence. All these symptoms of anger may be divided into two parts: constitutional and unconstitutional, or permanent and temporary symptoms.
