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.

[21] The lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, too, set out from Rājagṛha and arrived at his own park.  When he saw the maiden Kāśisundarī dragged hither and thither, her hair dishevelled, and fallen senseless upon the ground, he was greatly moved.  He reflected : "Having been brought here, she has been slain by somebody who is evil-natured, pitiless at heart, has given up all expectation of the future world, and is persistent in his enmity.  Oh! alas! There are indeed beings even such as these who would unmercifully strike a woman such as this".  He searched that entire park and when he did not see anyone, it occurred to him:  "This woman is well-known; she has been slain in this park, and I do not see anyone here.  In every way, revealing the evil nature within himself some wicked person has let fall this thunderbolt of disgrace upon my head."  Thus distracted in mind he remained lost in thought with his cheek resting upon his hand.
