How to read these English letters (IAST)

Our explanation Krishna says that a person devoted to his own work reaches perfection (saṃsiddhi), and asks Arjuna to hear how. The schools differ on what this perfection is (see the views). Readings of these verses differ between schools and teachers, and the wording is the text's, not the view of this library.

हिंदी अर्थ कृष्ण कहते हैं कि अपने-अपने कर्म में लगा मनुष्य संसिद्धि (पूर्णता) पाता है, और अर्जुन से सुनने को कहते हैं कि कैसे। यह पूर्णता क्या है, इस पर परंपराओं में मतभेद है। इन श्लोकों को अलग-अलग परंपराएँ और आचार्य अलग ढंग से पढ़ते हैं, और ये शब्द पाठ के हैं, इस पुस्तकालय का मत नहीं।
