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.

[110] Now, on another day, that hired servant, caretaker of a field, took a bowl of food duly given him by his master and set out to the field early in the morning.  On his way he heard from a certain lay devotee that the caravan leader Karṇa, having presented the Fortunate, the Awakened One with a single bean-cake, had obtained much glory.  On hearing this he asked that lay devotee: "O good man, what are the merits of that Fortunate One?"  He replied: "Gentle sir, what power do I have to describe the specially endowed virtues of the Fortunate One! Please listen to this much in brief.  That Fortunate One, the Fully Awakened One, is indeed adorned with the characteristic marks of a superior person.  He has the lustre of the golden mountain (i.e. Meru).  He has an excessive radiance equal to that of the sun and the moon.  He is heroic, religious, tranquil in mind, eloquent, well dressed, fair-limbed, fair-faced, fair-eyed, diligent, just, patient and confident.  He is a trainer and a good guide.  He is a knower of good conduct and restraint, grateful, and sharp-eyed.  He is composed in his sense-faculties.  The horses that are his sense-faculties are well tamed.  He is the great king of the law, the very best of creatures, the great protector of the world, the great banner of knowledge, the great hero of disputants, the great treasury of merit, the great source of the law, the great caravan leader, the great law-giver, the great helmsman, greatly worthy of gifts, the remover of desire, the great destroyer of delusion.  He extinguishes anger, establishes people in liberation, makes them depart from evil ways, points out the true path, removes doubt, teaches the truths, stills the depravities, annihilates Evil, and rescues the world.  He is honoured by Brahman and revered by Śakra.  He is superior to all the world, brings profit to all the world, is supreme of all beings, brings to an end all suffering and is all-knowing.  He is expert in conduct and discipline and has transcended all evil influences.  He is not overcome by the best of debators and not led astray by all faults.  He is engaged in the welfare of all.  He is handsome, virtuous, intent on meditation, courageous and possessed of wisdom.  He is likewise free from desire, free from sickness and free of artifice, and has a disposition free of trouble.  He teaches the means of the destruction of activity.  He is kindly disposed towards all beings, free from evil, full of zealous application, unsurpassed, a guide and an instructor.  He is the great physician of those that are tormented by the disease of the depravities.  He is self-existent, all-pervading, self-restrained, and of immeasurable power.  He is modest in deeds, quite contented, aware of time and purpose and wise.  He has overcome the enemy of the depravities.  The fires (of lust, hatred and delusion) are extinguished within him.  He has an imperturbable nature.  He is greatly worthy of gifts.  Seeing the world greatly suffering and sunk in the mire of ignorance, he is himself able to rescue it.  With his supreme thoughts directed towards compassion for all beings in accordance with his own power, he gave rise firmly to thoughts such as  "How shall I rescue them? How shall I free the sorrowing world? How shall I comfort the frightened? How shall I rescue the world sunk in the stream of transmigration? and How shall I refresh the world that is being consumed?"  With courage, throughout hundreds of thousands of crores of former births, he gave away food, drink, shelter, footwear, victuals, parasols, chariots and seats, etc., as well as his delightful elephants, horses, wife and children and male and female servants.  He also cut off his own head, eyes and flesh and gave as for instance to Indra in the guise of a falcon intending the welfare of all beings by all means.  And at all times, beholding the aged, the sick, and the dying, the deluded, the perplexed and the perturbed he comforted them all himself, whether they were present before him or not.  He has attained the peaceful and highest wisdom after many hundreds of thousands of crores of births by practising charity, virtue, patience, courage, wisdom and meditation.  Who is able to describe the complete virtues of that Perfectly Awakened One.  He is the foremost of all beings, perfectly awakened, and renowned for his fame.  His teaching is trustworthy and known for its compassion.  He is full of discernment and has extensive energy.  He has successfully accomplished all promises.  He is free from faults.  He has cast out delusion.  He is tranquil, subdued, and not attached to all objects of the senses.  He is the lord of the universe, that has achieved his final embodiment, and is a treasury of knowledge, adorned with the lustre of immeasurable power.  The radiance of his face surpasses that of the full moon.  He is ever worshipped with devotion and faith by the lord of the gods, the lord of demons, and serpents.  He is of shining splendour, possesses the glory of merit and is sprung from great sages.  He has the lustre of purified gold, and is the lord of the law. He has mastered the supreme laws. He is the best of beings,  the protector, the most excellent, the liberated, the hero, the steadfast, and the god surpassing all other gods.
