to the great sage.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King Parīkṣit, although the great sage Aṅgirā knew everything, he inquired from the King in this way. Thus King Citraketu, desiring a son, bent low in great humility and spoke to the great sage as follows.
Purport
Since the face is the index to the mind, a saintly person can study the condition of one’s mind by seeing his face. When Aṅgirā Ṛṣi remarked about the King’s discolored face, King Citraketu explained the cause of his anxiety as follows.

Translation
O King Parīkṣit! Questioned by the knowledgeable sage in this way, King Citraketu, desiring a son, bent low in great humility and spoke to the great sage as follows.
Vikalpitaḥ means “being made the subject in various ways.” Though the sage knew the cause, he wanted to hear of the King’s grief from his own mouth.
