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.

§12 tatra keṣāṃcic chrāvakāṇām etad abhavat:  ita evaṃ parīttād bhojanāt katham iyam īdṛśī parṣat paribhokṣyata iti | 
有異弟子念  此飯少 而此大眾人人當食 
有異聲聞念  是飯少而此大眾人人當食 
時眾會中有劣聲聞 作如是念  此食甚少 云何充足如是大眾

But some of the disciples had already had the thought:  "How can such a huge multitude eat such a small amount of food?"

tān sa nirmito bodhisatvaḥ śrāvakān etad avocat:  mā yūyam āyuṣmantaḥ svaprajñāpuṇyais tathāgataprajñāpuṇyāni samīkārṣṭa |    syāc caturṇāṃ mahāsamudrāṇāṃ kṣayaḥ,  na tv evāsya bhojanasya kaścit parikṣayaḥ |  sacet sarvasatvā api sumerumātrair ālopaiḥ kalpaṃ paribhuñjīran, tathāpy asya kṣayo na syāt |  tat kasmād dhetoḥ |  akṣayaśīlasamādhiprajñānirjātasyedaṃ tathāgatasya pātrāvaśeṣaṃ bhojanaṃ naitac chakyaṃ kṣapayitum |   
化菩薩曰      四海有竭  此飯無盡  使眾人食摶若須彌 猶不能盡是不可盡  所以者何  無有盡戒至于定慧解度知見 如來之飯終不可盡   
化菩薩曰  勿以聲聞小德小智稱量如來無量福慧    四海有竭  此飯無盡  使一切人食揣若須彌乃至一劫猶不能盡  所以者何  無盡戒定智慧解脫解脫知見功德具足者 所食之餘 終不可盡   
時化菩薩便告之言  勿以汝等自少福慧測量如來無量福慧  所以者何  四大海水乍可有竭  是妙香食終無有盡  假使無量大千世界 一切有情一一摶食 其食摶量等妙高山 如是摶食 或經一劫或一百劫猶不能盡  所以者何  如是食者 是無盡戒定慧解脫解脫知見所生 如來所食之餘  無量三千大千世界一切有情 經百千劫食此香食終不能盡

Then the incarnation-bodhisattva said to those disciples,  "Do not compare, venerable ones, your own wisdom and merits with the wisdom and the merits of the Tathāgata!  Why?  For example, the four great oceans might dry up,  but this food would never be exhausted.  If all living beings were to eat for an aeon an amount of this food equal to Mount Sumeru in size, it would not be depleted.  Why?  Issued from inexhaustible morality, concentration, and wisdom, the remains of the food of the Tathāgata contained in this vessel cannot be exhausted."
