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.

[40] The executioners [in the meantime], making hundreds of excuses, were quite slowly wandering along proclaiming the lad Suvarṇavarṇa as to his crime and punishment in the carriage-roads, streets, junctions and cross-roads, and thinking:  "Ah, alas! would that there were some rescuers of the lad and thus would that we not commit a crime such as this."  Then, those royal servants arrived, drawn sword in hand, and spoke to the executioners as directed.  They added: "If you do not quickly drive him out from the city and execute him in the stipulated manner, we shall execute you immediately".  Having Looked at them that were very fierce, with drawn swords ready in their hands, and that were like the servants of Yama, they became terrified; then, frightened by the fear of death, they began to reflect:  "Ah! Alas! no one has rescued the lad, now he will have to be executed by us."  Their eyes overflowing with the water of tears and supervised by those royal servants, they began to drive the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, out from the city.
