महाभैरवनादद्यैस्त्रासः समुपजायते ।
स्रस्ताङ्गाक्षिनिमेषैश्च तस्य त्वभिनयो भवेत्
mahābhairavanādadyaistrāsaḥ samupajāyate |
srastāṅgākṣinimeṣaiśca tasya tvabhinayo bhavet

The line

From great terrible sounds and the rest, fright arises. Its acting is by slack limbs and by closing the eyes.

नेपालीमा

ठूला भयानक शब्द र अरूबाट त्रास उत्पन्न हुन्छ। यसको अभिनय शिथिल अङ्ग र आँखा बन्द गर्नुबाट हुन्छ।

Where it sits

Trāsa (त्रास). A loud terrible sound is the occasion. The body goes slack.
