How to read these English letters (IAST)

Our explanation Krishna says that the one among mortals who knows him as unborn and without beginning, the great Lord of the worlds, is free from delusion and is released from all sins. The schools explain 'unborn' and 'without beginning' in different ways (see the views).

हिंदी अर्थ कृष्ण कहते हैं कि मनुष्यों में जो उन्हें अजन्मा, अनादि और लोकों का महान ईश्वर जानता है, वह मोह से रहित है और सब पापों से छूट जाता है। “अजन्मा” और “अनादि” को परंपराएँ अलग-अलग ढंग से समझाती हैं।
