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.

[23] Then, the king’s officers began to speak to one another:  "Sirs, this lad is extremely well-behaved. This action cannot be thought possible of him.  But we do not see anyone else here. In every way, we are in extreme difficulty. How should we proceed in this matter?"  Then, one of them said: "Sirs, as we are unable to decide,  let us take this woman and the lad to the hall of justice so that the ministers themselves may decide."  Then, the king’s officers raised that woman on to a litter and went with the lad Suvarṇavarṇa to the hall of justice.  There, at the hall of justice, the minister, Pracaṇḍa, was seated together with magistrates who by their very conduct were well-disposed,  assembled for the most part in expectation of the arrival of the king’s officers themselves.  Having seen them while yet at a distance he asked: "Sirs, what is this?"  They said: "We saw this woman dead in the park of the caravan leader Divākara.  We examined the park but saw no one other than the lad Suvarṇavarṇa.  We asked him: ’Who killed this woman" and he replied: ’Sirs, I, too, do not know. Even I found her thus.’  Now, therefore, may your lordships yourselves investigate."
