If you want only the Sanskrit original, then that edition (I do not have it; I rely on the Vani Vilas Press edition) should be good, but if we are talking of translations, Gita Press usually translates the commentary of Sri J. Goendka (if memory serves right), which is a somewhat free-wheeling commentary.
