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.

[14] Later, on another occasion, the maiden Kāśisundarī, adorned with all ornaments, departing from Rājagṛha proceeded to the park of the minister Pracaṇḍa.  The lad Suvarṇavarṇa, too, departing from the city of Rājagṛha went to his own park.  The maiden Kāśisundarī saw the lad Suvarṇavarṇa who was exceedingly handsome, charming and pleasant. Endowed with all the major and minor limbs, he was possessed of an excellence of complexion, the colour of purified gold.  He captivated the eyes and minds of all people. His body was covered with golden-yellow garments. Having seen him, it occurred to her thus:  "Ah! the nobility of his figure!  Ah! the excellence of his complexion! Fortunate is that woman whose husband he will become."  Become exceedingly attracted towards him, she reflected:  "Unfortunate is that woman who does not enjoy amorous sport with such a man.  We make a living by the beauty of our figure, and are common to all men. This lad is in the bloom of youth.  What if I so entice him that there would ensue a union between him and myself."  She stood before him and began to show intimations of her desire.  But that magnanimous one, as he was by very nature averse to pleasures and as he was prone to Nirvāṇa, did not pay heed to her.
