The disturbance which arises in the heart from lightning, fearful creatures or a loud sound is called trāsa (terror). In this state a person grasps nearby objects for support. His hairs stand on end. He quivers, becomes paralyzed, and wanders about.
Purport
Apprehension When a person becomes disturbed in his heart by seeing lightning in the sky, by seeing a ferocious animal or by hearing a tumultuous sound, his state of mind is called apprehensive. In such a state of apprehension, one tries to take shelter of something which provides safety. There may be standing of the hairs on the body, trembling of the body and sometimes the committing of mistakes. And sometimes the body may become stunned.
— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
