पौर्णमास्याम् on a fullmoon night, तुषारमलिना faded by frost, ज्योत्स्ना moonlight, न राजते not shining, आतपश्यामा scorched by heat, सीतेव like Sita, लक्ष्यते appearing, न तु शोभते not bright.
English Commentary
On a fullmoon night the beams of the moon faded by forest look pale, dull like Sita scorched by the heat of the Sun.
