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.

[50] Then, the lad Suvarṇavarṇa observing the stake being erected upon the ground, became mindful of his mother and, his heart melting with intense grief, began to shed tears:  "Soon, on hearing of her separation from me, what would be the condition of my mother?  How will she who, indeed, formerly on not seeing me even for half a watch, experienced great suffering, sustain her life now, separated from me, her only son?  Ah, Alas! Such an unfortunate one am I, indeed, that, on account of me, my mother will suffer the pain of separation from me."  Then, those executioners fixed that stake in the ground and began to talk to one another:  "Which of us will place the lad upon the stake?"  Thereupon, each one began to hold out a pretext saying: "You do it (i.e. place the lad upon the stake),  today, a headache worries me excessively;  me, an acute pain in my back; and me, an acute pain in my side."  Not one of them was willing to commit that crime.
