How to read these English letters (IAST)

Our explanation Sanjaya says that as he remembers again and again that most wonderful form of Hari, his wonder is great and he rejoices again and again. Shankara and Ramanuja both take the form to be the universal form of chapter 11.

हिंदी अर्थ संजय कहते हैं कि हरि के उस अत्यंत अद्भुत रूप को बार-बार याद करके उन्हें बड़ा विस्मय होता है और वे बार-बार हर्षित होते हैं। शंकराचार्य और रामानुजाचार्य दोनों इस रूप को अध्याय 11 का विश्वरूप मानते हैं।
