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.

And if the pramāṇas owe their establishment to the prameyas, and if those prameyas are to be established by those very pramāṇas, how will the prameyas establish [the pramāṇas]?

yadi ca prameyaiḥ pramāṇāni sidhyanti tāni ca prameyāṇitair eva pramāṇaiḥ sādhayitavyāni nanv asiddheṣu pramāṇeṣu kāraṇasyāsiddhatvād siddhāni kathaṃ sādhayiṣyanti pramāṇāni |

And if the pramāṇas owe their establishment to the prameyas, and if those prameyas are to be established by those very pramāṇas, [we encounter the following difficulty:] the pramāṇas not having been established, the prameyas are not established, for their cause is not established. How, then, will the prameyas establish the pramāṇas?
