    Well your post has been lying unanswered for a while. This is the PHONETIC translation in Sanskrit Script. It is read exactly as you would read "Know yourself"

    When the words from one language are written phonetically i.e. pronunciation wise using the letters of other language, it is called TRANSLITERATION. This is used for names. The name remains the same, let the language be any. E.g. "Suresh" is my friend. His name means The King of Gods in Sanskrit. When I call him, I simply call him Hellow "Suresh" & not as "Hellow King of Gods".
    While when the actual meaning of the word in converted to the other language, it is called translation.
