SB 7.8.15
tadaiva tasmin ninado ’tibhisano
babhuva yenanda-kataham asphutat
yam vai sva-dhisnyopagatam tv ajadayah
srutva sva-dhamatyayam anga menire
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
Then from within the pillar came a fearful sound, which appeared to crack the covering of the universe. O my dear Yudhisthira, this sound reached even the abodes of the demigods like Lord Brahma, and when the demigods heard it, they thought, “Oh, now our planets are being destroyed!”
Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada:
As we sometimes become very much afraid at the sound of a thunderbolt, perhaps thinking that our houses will be destroyed, the great demigods like Lord Brahma feared the thundering sound that came from the pillar in front of Hiranyakasipu.
