O King Citraketu, I can observe that your mind is not pleased. You seem not to have achieved your desired goal. Is this because of you yourself, or has it been caused by others? Your pale face reflects your deep anxiety.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
O King Citraketu! Your mind is not pleased due to yourself or others. I see that your face is pale with worry, because of not achieving your desires. Again he speaks to the silent King. The mind in your body (ātmanaḥ) is not happy because of yourself or someone else. “I am happy.” No, I see that your face is pale.
