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.

[20] Then, the maiden Kāśisundarī, considering herself as if revived from the dead, arose quickly and went up to the wall (of the park) with the intention of running away.  But the wall was high and she was not able to jump over it.  The minister, Pracaṇḍa, returned and, not seeing the maiden Kāśisundarī at that place, began to look here and there.  When he saw her gone near the wall, he very quickly began to go near her.  There was a black serpent there, and she was bitten on her right foot by it.  Having seen him (i.e. the minister), it ran away.  The maiden Kāśisundarī reflected:  "This minister, Pracaṇḍa, upon arriving, will kill me."  Her thoughts directed towards him, trembling out of fear of death, and not aware that she was bitten by a black serpent, (she entered a thicket of Atimuktaka creepers).  The minister, Pracaṇḍa, arrived at that thicket of Atimuktaka creepers.  Then, evil-natured, pitiless at heart, and his mind confused with fierce anger, he dragged the maiden Kāśisundarī from that thicket of Akimuktaka creepers and gave a kick on her head with his heel.  Being very delicate, she fainted on account of that blow as well as the effect of the (serpent’s) poison.  The minister, Pracaṇḍa, began to observe her. When he saw her fallen senseless upon the ground, it occurred to him : "She is dead, I will now go away."  Then, lest someone should see him, he jumped over the wall and entered Rājagṛha by a different route.  Having done so, he ordered the king’s officers saying:  "Go, examine the park of the caravan leader Divākara." They departed.
