Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration, Word-for-word and English translation of verse 1.7.85:

ततोऽन्याभिश् च देवीभिर् एतद् एवानुमोदितम् ।
सात्राजिती परं मान-गेहं तद् असहाविशत् ॥ ८५ ॥

tato'nyābhiś ca devībhir etad evānumoditam |
sātrājitī paraṃ māna-gehaṃ tad asahāviśat || 85 ||

Later on, other queens such as Śrī Jāmbavatī also gave approval of the words of Śrī Rukmiṇī-devī. Nevertheless, the daughter of Satrājit, Śrī Satyabhāmā-devī, being unable to tolerate this, went off to her quarters of jealous anger (māna-gṛha).

Commentary: Dig-darśinī-ṭīkā with Bhāvānuvāda

(By Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī himself including a deep purport of that commentary)

Śrī Jāmbavatī and other queens approved of the words of Śrī Rukmiṇī-devī by shouting out “sādhu, sādhu” (well done, excellent). Only the daughter of Satrājit, Śrī Satyabhāmā-devī, being unable to tolerate the sentiments of Śrī Rukmiṇī towards the vrajavāsis, strode off to the quarters where jealous anger (māna-gṛha) is permissable.
