The metre of the stanza is S'êrdîlavikrițita. लब्धप्रसादा विटा:=voluptuous companions who have obtained the favour of the king. Cf. Bhartřihari (Vairâgya), st. 27. उन्मुखा &c. = looking upwards, as in case of entreaty, and concealments, scil. of his own feelings, I think, not of the king's secrets as the commentator takes it. Cf.
