Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation:

तत्र अधिक्षेपाद्, यथा विदग्ध-माधवे (२.५३) —
निर्धौतानाम् अखिल-धरणी-माधुरीणा
कल्याणी मे निवसति वधूः पश्य पार्श्वे नवोढा ।
अन्तर्गोष्ठे चटुल नटयन्न् अत्र नेत्र-त्रिभागं
निःशङ्कस् त्वं भ्रमसि भविता नाकुलत्वं कुतो मे ॥२.४.१६१॥

tatra adhikṣepād, yathā vidagdha-mādhave (2.53) —
nirdhautānām akhila-dharaṇī-mādhurīṇā
kalyāṇī me nivasati vadhūḥ paśya pārśve navoḍhā |
antargoṣṭhe caṭula naṭayann atra netra-tribhāgaṃ
niḥśaṅkas tvaṃ bhramasi bhavitā nākulatvaṃ kuto me
||2.4.161||

English translation

Indignation arising from contempt, from Vidagdha-mādhava:
“Jaṭilā said to Kṛṣṇa: ‘See! My son’s new, auspicious bride, endowed with all the sweetness of the earth, is sitting by my side. O unsteady boy! You cannot disturb me, though You wander fearlessly through Vraja moving Your eyebrows!”
