O King, remembering, remembering this marvellous and holy dialogue between Keshava and Arjuna, I rejoice again and again.

Explanation

Sanjaya’s own devotional response, addressed now to Dhritarashtra: remembering, again and again, this marvelous dialogue between Keshava and Arjuna, he rejoices again and again. The doubled verb, saṃsmṛtya saṃsmṛtya, enacts in its own grammar the very repetition of recollection it describes.
