Translation
Who can tolerate separation from that supreme person whose foot prints made my hair stand on end constantly, while he took away the pride and self-control of his queens who were proud by his loving glances, pleasant smiles and sweet speech?
Commentary

Madhu-māninīnām means Satyabhāmā and others. He took away their steadiness (sthairyam) and pride (samānam). Vitāṅkitāyāḥ means ornamented. Among all the dear women, I was always independent (such a woman is called svādhīna-bhartṛkā), and was never separate from him (since his feet always touched me). That is the meaning of the verse.
