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.
 
If you cannot find the letters on your key-board, you may click on the link "Diacritica" to access it for your search.

[84] Thereupon, that handmaid went to the friends, associates and relations of the caravan leader Karṇa and said:  "Sirs, such are the circumstances of the wife of the caravan leader Karṇa. Give her sustenance."  From the very time they began to give her sustenance, hundreds of misfortunes arose in their families too.  They reflected: "This son of the caravan leader Karṇa is extremely inauspicious.  Through the effect of his demerit the entire wealth such as house and possessions of the caravan leader Karṇa was destroyed.  Therefore, should we give him sustenance, in our houses too, before long, this very same situation would arise as (in the house of) the caravan leader Karṇa.  In every way, it is not proper even to utter his name." They told the handmaid: "You should not come to our houses again."
