Romodgama (रोमोद्गम) refers to “piloerection� (i.e., when one’s hair stands on end), according to the Śivapurṇa 2.3.3.—Accordingly, as Brahm narrated to Nrada:—“[...] On seeing the gods after their arrival, the noble Himcala bowed to them gladly and honoured them with devotion. He praised his own good fortune. With the head bent down and palms joined in reverence, he eulogised them with great devotion. Himcala’s hair stood on end (i.e., romodgama) and tears of love fell from his eyes�.

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

: Prabhupada Books: Sri Caitanya Caritamrta

Romodgama (रोमोद्गम) refers to “bodily hairs standing on end�, mentioned in the Śrī Caitanya Caritmṛta 3.14.91-96.—Accordingly:—“[...] Śrī Caitanya Mahprabhu was running with the speed of the wind, but He suddenly became stunned in ecstasy and lost all strength to proceed further. The flesh at each of His pores erupted like pimples, and His bodily hairs, standing on end (i.e., romodgama), appeared like Kadamba flowers. Blood and perspiration flowed incessantly from every pore of His body, and He could not speak a word but simply produced a gargling sound within His throat. The Lord’s eyes filled and overflowed with unlimited tears, like the Ganges and Yamun meeting in the sea. His entire body faded to the color of a white conchshell, and then He began to quiver like the waves in the ocean. While quivering in this way, Śrī Caitanya Mahprabhu fell down on the ground. Then Govinda approached Him�.

Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa

Romodgama (रोमोद्गम) refers to “horripilation�, as taught in the Damśarūpa (“aspects of snake-bites�) section of the Kśyapa Saṃhit: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pñcartra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikits—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidy).—Explaining in a scientific manner, the sage Kśyapa in his Kśyapasaṃhit proceeds to demonstrate the correct methods of ascertaining death. If a snake-bite victim does not have horripilation (romodgama) when sprinkled with water, there are no marks on his person when beaten with a cane, when there is no bleeding despite inflicting a cut in the body and the body does not float when immersed in water, one can discern that it is a case of death.
