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.

Eng: Beal (1883)
but I, indeed, amid the ruins of old age and death, am far removed from the meritorious condition of the holy one,
108. ’Possessed indeed of powers of abstraction, yet not within reach of the gain he will give,
to be derived from his teaching as the Bodhisattva; not permitted to hear his righteous law,
109. ’My body worn out, after death, alas! (destined) to be born as a Deva still liable to the three calamities (old age, decay, and death), (therefore I weep).’
Eng: Cowell (1893, 1927)
82. ‘Therefore since I have fallen short of that excellence, though I have accomplished all the stages of contemplation, my life is only a failure; since I have not heard his Law, I count even dwelling in the highest heaven a misfortune.’
