अभिषेकः consecration, यथा as, सज्जः arranged, तव your, मुखवर्णः complexion of your face, अपूर्वः unusual, प्रहर्षश्च delightful, न लक्ष्यते not seen, इदानीम् now, इदम् this, किम् why?

English Commentary

How is it that when arrangements are under way now for your consecration, the complexion of your countenance does not look like what it was before? There is no joy on your face.
