Verse Text

vibhāvasya bhrū-kuṭy-ādyās tasminn uddīpanā matāḥ | mukha-śoṣaṇam ucchvāsaḥ parāvṛtya vilokanam ||9|| sva-saṅgopanam udghūrṇā śaraṇānveṣaṇaṁ tathā | krośanādyāḥ kriyāś cātra sāttvikāś cāśru-varjitāḥ ||10||

Translation

The uddīpanas for bhayānaka-rasa are frowns and other threats in the objects of fear. The anubhāvas are drying of the face, heaving breathing, looking backwards, hiding oneself, becoming unsteady, looking for shelter, and shouting. All the sāttvika-bhāvas except tears appear in bhayānaka-rasa.

Purport (Nectar of Devotion)

In the ecstasy of devotional service in dread, the unconstitutional symptoms are drying up of the mouth, exuberance, glancing behind oneself, concealing oneself, bewilderment, searching after the endangered lovable object and crying very loudly. 4.7 The Seventh Wave Concerning Bībhatsa-bhakti-rasa In the Northern Section of Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu Outline of Bībhatsa-rasa I.
