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.

The Buddha then said to the bodhisattva Jagatīṃdhara,  "Jagatīṃdhara, go to the Licchavi Vimalakīrti to inquire about his illness."

持人白佛言 我不堪任詣彼問疾  所以者何  憶念我昔自於室住  天魔波旬從玉女萬二千  狀如帝釋 鼓樂弦歌來詣我室  稽首我足 與其眷屬共供養我已於一面住 
持世白佛言 世尊 我不堪任詣彼問疾  所以者何  憶念我昔住於靜室  魔波旬從萬二千天女  狀如帝釋鼓樂絃歌來詣我所  與其眷屬稽首我足 合掌恭敬於一面立 
持世菩薩白言 世尊 我不堪任詣彼問疾  所以者何  憶念我昔於一時間在自住處  時惡魔怨從萬二千諸天女等  狀如帝釋 鼓樂絃歌來到我所  與其眷屬稽首我足 作諸天樂供養於我 合掌恭敬在一面立

Jagatīṃdhara replied, "My Lord, I am indeed reluctant to go to that good man to inquire about his illness.  Why?  Lord, I remember that one day, when I was at home,  the wicked Māra, (disguised as Indra) and surrounded with twelve thousand heavenly maidens,  (the wicked Māra,) disguised as Indra (and surrounded with twelve thousand heavenly maidens,) approached me with the sounds of music and singing.  Having saluted me by touching my feet with his head, he withdrew with his retinue to one side.

我意謂是天帝釋  讚言  善來拘翼 雖福應有不當自恣  一切欲樂當觀非常 無強多失當修德本 
我意謂是帝釋  而語之言  善來憍尸迦 雖福應有不當自恣  當觀五欲無常以求善本 於身命財而修堅法 
我時意謂真是帝釋  而語之言  善來憍尸迦 雖福應有不當自恣  當勤觀察諸欲戲樂皆悉無常 於身命財當勤修習證堅實法

I then, thinking he was Sakra, the king of the gods,  said to him,  ’Welcome, O Kauśika! You should remain consciously aware in the midst of the pleasures of desire.  You should often think on impermanence and strive to utilize the essential in body, life, and wealth.’

魔言  正士 受是取此萬二千女可備掃灑 
即語我言  正士 受是萬二千天女可備掃灑 
即語我言  唯大正士 可受此女以備供侍

"Māra then said to me,  ’Good sir, accept from me these twelve thousand divine maidens and make them your servants.’ " 
.  .

我言  拘翼 無以此妖蠱之物要我釋迦弟子  此非我宜 
我言  憍尸迦 無以此非法之物要我沙門釋子  此非我宜 
我即答言  止憍尸迦無以如是非法之物而要施我沙門釋子  此非我宜所

I replied,  ’O Kauśika, do not offer me, who am religious and a son of the Sakya, things which are not appropriate.  It is not proper for me to have these maidens.’
