Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 7 - Chapter 1 - Verse 15

Sanskrit:

तदैव तस्मिन्निनदोऽतिभीषणोबभूव येनाण्डकटाहमस्फुटत् ।यं वै स्वधिष्ण्योपगतं त्वजादय:श्रुत्वा स्वधामात्ययमङ्ग मेनिरे ॥ १५ ॥

ITRANS:

tadaiva tasmin ninado ’tibhīṣaṇobabhūva yenāṇḍa-kaṭāham asphuṭatyaṁ vai sva-dhiṣṇyopagataṁ tv ajādayaḥśrutvā sva-dhāmātyayam aṅga menire

Translation:

Then from within the pillar came a fearful sound, which appeared to crack the covering of the universe. O my dear Yudhiṣṭhira, this sound reached even the abodes of the demigods like Lord Brahmā, and when the demigods heard it, they thought, “Oh, now our planets are being destroyed!”

Purport:

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 Brahmā feared the thundering sound that came from the pillar in front of Hiraṇyakaśipu.
