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.

[120] In the meanwhile, the Fortunate, the Perfectly Awakened One, Candra, his mind filled with great compassion, thinking:  "Would that, indeed, this monk, the preacher of the Law, not vomit hot blood and pass away", came by magic power to that village.  Then, with his hand that was marked by the wheel, Svastika and Nandyāvarta, and was webbed, which was produced by many hundreds of meritorious acts, and which brought comfort to the frightened, the Fortunate, the Perfectly Awakened One, Candra, stroked that monk, the preacher of the Law, upon his head.  As soon as he was touched by the Fortunate One, that monk regained consciousness, stood up and began to confess his sin.  Now, at that time, the Fortunate, the Perfectly Awakened One, Candra, spoke these verses:

"To every man that is born, an axe is born in his mouth, by which he cuts himself when speaking bad language. (1)  He who praises him who is to be blamed, and blames him who is to be praised, accumulates evil with his mouth, by which evil he finds no joy. (2)  Trifling is this evil that one should lose his wealth by dice; here, this is a greater evil that one should corrupt his mind against the Sugatas. (3)  For they are a hundred thousand Nirarbudas, and thirty-six and five Arbudas, to which hells he who blames an Ārya goes, having employed his speech and mind sinfully. (4)    Through corruption of the mind beings go to evil states of existence; by serenity of mind beings go to good ones." (5)

Then, the Fortunate, the Perfectly Awakened One, Candra, having gladdened etc. that assembly with a religious discourse, arose from his seat and departed.
