Translation
This bhaya-rati or fear does not appear in any persons except the devotees. Fear arising from the fearful forms, qualities and powers generally arises in women and small children out of pure prema for Kṛṣṇa.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
When dread is caused by a fearful object, this fearful object is generally a person who is fearsome in his features, nature and influence.
