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