How to read these English letters (IAST)

Our explanation Krishna says he has now told Arjuna knowledge more secret than any secret. He asks him to reflect on it fully and then to do as he chooses. The choice is left to Arjuna.

हिंदी अर्थ कृष्ण कहते हैं कि उन्होंने अर्जुन को सब रहस्यों से भी अधिक रहस्यमय ज्ञान बता दिया है। वे अर्जुन से कहते हैं कि इस पर पूरा विचार करें और फिर जैसा चाहें वैसा करें। निर्णय अर्जुन पर छोड़ा गया है।
