Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

64. ’But Sagara-râga, his descendant, who begat a thousand royal sons, he could control the tide of the great sea so that it should come no further.
65. ’Ganaka, the Rishi, without a teacher acquired power of abstraction. All these, who obtained such renown, acquired powers of themselves;
66. ’Those distinguished before, were afterwards forgotten; those before forgotten, became afterwards distinguished; kings like these and godlike Rishis have no need of family inheritance,
67. ’And therefore the world need not regard those going before or following.
So, mighty king! is it with you, you should experience true joy of heart,
68. ’And because of this joy should banish for ever doubt or anxiety.’
Eng: Cowell (1893, 1927)
51. ‘Therefore it is not age nor years which are the criterion; different persons win pre-eminence in the world at different places; those mighty exploits worthy of kings and sages, when left undone by the ancestors, have been done by the sons.’
