Translation

As soon as Mahārāja Citraketu saw the Supreme Lord, he was cleansed of all material contamination and situated in his original Kṛṣṇa consciousness, being completely purified. He became silent and grave, and because of love for the Lord, tears fell from his eyes, and his hairs stood on end. With great devotion and love, he offered his respectful obeisances unto the original Personality of Godhead.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

His grief from not being able to attain the Lord was destroyed on seeing him. With completely spotless mind, he approached the Lord silently. With tears streaming from his eyes in great devotion and with hairs standing on end, he offered respects to the Lord. Kilbiṣaḥ means Citraketu’s grief on not attaining the Lord. Seeing the Lord, he approached, and offered respects.

Purport

The word tad-darśana-dhvasta-samasta-kilbiṣaḥ is very important in this verse. If one regularly sees the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the temple, one will gradually be disinfected of all material desires simply by visiting the temple and seeing the Deity. When one is freed from all the results of sinful activities, one will be purified, and with a healthy mind, completely cleansed, he will increasingly make progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
