Sanskrit (Devanāgarī and IAST) has been carried over unchanged from the website of Gabriel Pradīpaka: Hymn 3 — Praṇayaprasādākhyaṁ tṛtīyaṁ stotram. Stanzas 3.1–3.21 have been translated directly from Sanskrit, for this website: there is no exposition that could serve as a basis for them at the source.
