avyayasyāprameyasya satyasya ca tathāgrataḥ | śaptā ityeva me śrutvā jāyate hṛdi vepathuḥ ||
“اُس لازوال، بے اندازہ، سراسر حق پر مبنی ربّ کے حضور ہمیں لعنت دی گئی—یہ بات محض سن کر ہی میرے دل میں لرزہ طاری ہو جاتا ہے۔”

Educational Q&A
Even a spoken curse is treated as morally and cosmically weighty; awareness of higher Truth intensifies accountability, so the mind trembles at the consequences of adharma or transgression.
Śeṣa reports his inner reaction: merely hearing that “we have been cursed,” especially before the imperishable, immeasurable Truth (and, in the contextual gloss, before Brahmā), causes deep fear and trembling in the heart.
