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.

1. WHO is there that can overcome the world of the gods, of the lord of death (Yama) and of men, who knows how to expose the most delightful law, as one would flowers? l

3. =18,3 
3. Fear is born of the forest (of ignorance); so cut down not (only) the trees of the forest, but all that appertains to the forest (i.e., the roots), and then the Çramana will find nirvâṇa.

4. =18,4 
4. If man destroys not everything that appertains to the forest down to the smallest part, his mind will be held in bondage, as the calf that wants milk is to its mother’s side.

5. =18,5 
5 (285). Cut out the love of self as you would an autumn lotus; cherish the road of peace on account of the nirvâṇa which the Victorious One has explained. 
yathāpi ruciraṃ puṣpaṃ varṇavat syād agandhavat |

6. =18,6 
6 (51). Like a pretty flower, of pleasing colour but without scent, are the agreeably spoken but fruitless words of one who does not act (accordingly). 
yathāpi ruciraṃ puṣpaṃ varṇavat syāt sugandhavat |
evaṃ subhāṣitā vācā saphalā bhavati kurvataḥ |18,7|

7. =18,7 
7 (49). As the bee, which harms neither the colour nor the scent of the flower, but having sucked it flies away, so let the Muni walk through a village. 
yathāpi bhramaraḥ puṣpād varṇagandhāv aheṭhayan |
paraiti rasaṃ ādāya tathā grāmān muniś caret |18,8| 
猶如蜂採華 不壞色與香

ātmanas tu samīkṣeta samāni viṣamāni ca |18,9| 
不違他好惡 勿觀作不作
但自觀身行 若正若不正 109  
9. =18,9

bdag ñid kyis ni rigs pa daṅ || mi (225a1)rigs pa la brtag par bya ||9  
9. =18,9 
9 (58). As on piles of filth and in dirty water grows, unaffected by them, the padma, pure, sweet-smelling, and lovely,

evaṃ jātena martyena kartavyaṃ kuśalaṃ bahu |18,10|
