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.

[34] The caravan leader, Divākara, too, after a successful sea voyage, arrived at Rājagṛha. Entering the city of Rājagṛha he observed impropitious omens. His heart began to tremble. His limbs began to go limp. His eye throbbed. Birds, too, began to shriek harshly in front of him. Being adept in omens and versed in the notes of birds, he started to think: "Inasmuch as I observe these impropitious omens, today, a great calamity must be at hand for the lad Suvarṇavarṇa. For indeed these omens indicate separation from him." He said:

ji ltar bdag mig ’gul pa daṅ || ji ltar bya rnams sgra sgrogs nas ||
da ni ṅes par bu daṅ deṅ || bral bar ñe bar gnas pa yin|| (2) ji ltar yan lag rdul ba daṅ || ṅa yi sñiṅ ni ’dar ba las ||
ṅes par bu daṅ bral ba ste || mi bzad pa ni ñes bar gnas ||

"Inasmuch as my eye throbs and the bird shrieks, separation from my son is certainly at hand today. (1) Inasmuch as my Limbs go Limp and my heart trembles, terrible separation from my son is certainly at hand, today." (2)
