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.

Nirmitapuruṣa  Then five hundred widows, having departed from the city of Rājagṛha and proceeded to the place where the bodhisatva Gaganagañja stayed, said this to him:  “If you fulfill the wishes of all living beings, O Good man (satpuruṣa), please return our husbands.”  Immediately after that, by the magical presence of the bodhisatva Gaganagañja, five hundred men resembling their deceased husbands in colors, distinguishing marks, and appearances (varṇanimittasaṃsthāna), having descended from the open space (gaganād avatīrya), settled down in front of the bodhisatva Gaganagañja.  Then the bodhisatva Gaganagañja said this to the women:  “Sisters (bhaginī), bring your respective husbands just as they were (yathābhūta).”  Then the women, having brought their respective husbands, being filled with rejoicing and happiness of mind, returned to their respective homes.  After that, by those magically created beings (nirmitāḥ puruṣāḥ), during seven days (saptāha), the women were brought to maturity, in the way that they attained the stage of not falling back (avaivartika) from the supreme and perfect awakening (anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi).  Then the five hundred widows, having come to the bodhisatva Gaganagañja, uttered these verses: 
                 
  爾時王舍大城有五百女人。共詣大虚空藏菩薩所。到已白言。  我聞正士能滿一切有情所願。然今我等夫主並死不知所趣唯願大士示我令見  爾時大虚空藏菩薩。以威神力故。即爲五百女人。各各現其本夫形状住菩薩前。  時虚空藏告諸女言。  姊妹當觀此是汝等本夫。  以不彼諸女等各見本夫。悲喜交集。時彼丈夫各自隨逐是諸女等還歸本家。  七日之中爲女説法令得成就咸發無上菩提之心。住不退轉。  時五百女相共來詣大虚空藏菩薩之所。一心同聲以伽陀讃曰

119 The nature of the dharma (dharmasvabhāva) is empty (śūnya), just as an illusion (māyā), and we did not know the essence of the dharma (dharmalakṣaṇa) before. But you gave magically created husbands to us, thereby we were matured in the highest vehicle (agrayāna).  120 Since all these dharmas are magically created, they are already empty, without movement or activity. By fully understanding the uncontaminated knowledge (anāsravajñāna), from this time forth, we will never get into the power of vices (kleśavaśa).  121 We will produce the thought of the highest awakening (agrabodhicitta), and take care of all living beings. Just as you poured down the magnificent on living beings, we will pour down the rain of the highest dharma (agradharmavarṣa).  122 The Sage (muni), the highest leader (agranāyaka), predicted for them: “In the future, when you completed your practice, you will become supreme conquerors (jinendra), the well-gone ones (sugata) called Suvinīta.” 
       
我等今知是法相　猶如幻化虚空性
而爲我等示現夫　今我成就最勝業  以是諸法皆變化　本空無心無所動
由此通達無漏法　永不隨逐諸煩惱  是故皆發菩提心　願欲拔濟有情類  蒙爲我等授記　當得成佛度有情
同名善調之如來　廣於後世修諸行
我等獲斯妙法雨　是故稱讃大導師
