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.

§14 athāyuṣmān ānando bhagavantam etad avocat:  adyāgreṇāhaṃ bhagavan na bhūyo ’gro bahuśrutānām ity ātmānaṃ pratijñāsyāmi | 
阿難白佛  願今已後無稱我為上智多聞 
阿難白佛言  我從今已往不敢自謂以為多聞 
時阿難陀白言  時阿難陀白言 世尊 我從今去不敢自稱得念總持多聞第一

Then, the venerable Ānanda addressed the Buddha:  "Lord, from this day forth, I shall no longer declare myself to be the foremost of the learned."

佛言  阿難 汝起疲厭之意    於弟子中為最多聞  比諸菩薩未有見焉    菩薩志願所作彌多    一切海淵尚可測量  菩薩智慧諸持定念 種種所得不可稱度  阿難 汝且觀菩薩行    是維摩詰一時所現  彼諸弟子緣一覺者 一切變化於百千劫不能現也 
佛告阿難  勿起退意  所以者何  我說汝於聲聞中為最多聞  非謂菩薩  且止阿難    其有智者不應限度諸菩薩也  一切海淵尚可測量  菩薩禪定智慧總持辯才一切功德不可量也  阿難 汝等捨置菩薩所行    是維摩詰一時所現  一切聲聞辟支佛 於百千劫盡力變化所不能作 
佛便告曰  汝今不應心生退屈  所以者何  我自昔來但說汝於聲聞眾中得念總持多聞第一  非於菩薩  汝今且止    其有智者不應測量諸菩薩事  汝今當知 一切大海源底深淺猶可測量  菩薩智慧念定總持辯才大海無能測者  汝等聲聞置諸菩薩所行境界不應思惟    於一食頃是無垢稱示現變化  所作神通 一切聲聞及諸獨覺 百千大劫示現變化神力所作 亦不能及

The Buddha said,  "Do not be discouraged, Ānanda!  Why?  I pronounced you, Ānanda, the foremost of the learned, with the disciples in mind,  not considering the bodhisattvas.  Look, Ānanda, look at the bodhisattvas.    They cannot be fathomed even by the wisest of men.  Ānanda, one can fathom the depths of the ocean,  but one cannot fathom the depths of the wisdom, gnosis, memory, incantations, or eloquence of the bodhisattvas.  Ānanda, you should remain in equanimity with regard to the deeds of the bodhisattvas.  Why?  Ānanda, these marvels displayed in a single morning by the Licchavi Vimalakīrti  could not be performed by the disciples and solitary sages who have attained miraculous powers, were they to devote all their powers of incarnation and transformation during one hundred thousand millions of aeons."
