He has eyes like a monkey’s, yet he has married my daughter, whose eyes are just like those of a deer cub. Nevertheless he did not stand up to receive me, nor did he think it fit to welcome me with sweet words.

Translation
Having married my daughter with fawn-like eyes, the monkey-eyed rascal has not given proper respect to me with even words, though I deserve the honor of persons rising and addressing me politely.
He did not even respect with sweet words his father-in-law who deserves that someone rises from his seat and addresses him. The other meaning is as follows. Seeing mercifully materialists who are like monkeys (markāta-locanaḥ), he grants their desires. Unfortunately, I have not properly respected with words such a person who deserves that I rise and speak politely.
