र हरिको त्यो अत्यन्त अद्भुत रूप सम्झँदा सम्झँदा, हे राजा, मेरो आश्चर्य ठूलो छ, र म फेरि फेरि रोमाञ्चित हुन्छु।
Where it sits
Beside the dialogue he remembers the form of Hari (हरि), and the wonder keeps returning as he comes to the judgment asked for at the beginning.

The phrases
tac ca saṃsmṛtya saṃsmṛtya rūpam atyadbhutaṃ hareḥ (तच्च संस्मृत्य संस्मृत्य रूपमत्यद्भुतं हरेः) is the second memory. And remembering, remembering, that exceedingly wondrous form of Hari (हरि). tat (तत्) points at rūpam (रूपम्).
vismayo me mahān rājan (विस्मयो मे महान् राजन्) is what the form does. Great is my wonder, O king.
hṛṣyāmi ca punaḥ punaḥ (हृष्यामि च पुनः पुनः) is the same thrill as 18.76, said with punaḥ (पुनः) instead of muhuḥ (मुहुः). Again and again.
Sanskrit in this line
तत् + च tat + ca is recited tac ca (तच्च). t (त्) before c (च्) becomes c (च्), so the c (च्) is doubled. अति + अद्भुतम् ati + adbhutam is atyadbhutam (अत्यद्भुतम्), because इ + अ i + a becomes ya (य). विस्मयः + मे vismayaḥ + me is vismayo me (विस्मयो मे), aḥ (अः) before a voiced consonant becoming o (ओ).
Say it back
Cover the English. Say what he remembers this time, and what the wonder is. If the form is ordinary, stay here.
