एतेन therefore, अयं नरेन्द्रः this king, कारुण्येन on account of compassion, समाप्लुतः was overwhelmed, शोकसंक्लिष्ट वदनः with a face fortured by tears, त्वाम् you, निरीक्षितुम् to see, न शक्नोति not able.

This is why the king with his face tortured by tears and (his heart) overwhelmed with compassion for you, is unable to look at you.
