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.

[11] Now, the lad Suvarṇavarṇa, having heard these stanzas, terrified by the circuit of mundane existence and seeing the advantage of Nirvāṇa,  worshipped that monk and asked:  "Noble one, what is it?" The monk replied: "Sir, it is the word of the Awakened One."  On hearing that, there arose in him great faith in the teaching of the Fortunate One, as well as a desire for ordination and for Liberation.  Then, paying respect to that monk and falling at his feet, he said: "Noble one, I wish to be ordained  and it therefore behooves you to show compassion and ordain me."  The monk asked: "Sir, have you been given permission by your parents?",  and he replied: "I have not." The monk said: "Go now, sir, seek your parents’ permission. We do not, indeed, ordain a person that has not been given his parents’ consent."  He replied: "I shall do so."
