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.

[36] Having seen him and being smitten by the shaft of sorrow that had now become doubled, and her lotus-like face become filled with wave upon wave of tears, she arose very quickly and full of bewilderment threw herself before him.  Then the caravan leader, Divākara, embraced her as she lamented with doleful cries and made her stand up.  She fell at his feet and said:  "Caravan leader, save me, save me. Grant me the boon of a son." She added:

"Now console me that am unfortunate and devoid of joy, that am being separated from my son, that am weeping and greatly afflicted. (1)  My Lord, he, at whose birth your joy was utmost, your dear son, is today being taken away for execution. (2)  Well-behaved, amiable, clever, proficient in various sciences, and matchless in appearance, your Learned son is being Led away. (3)  Your family-stock is being cut off. The family-pillar is being broken up. The glorious illuminator of the family, the Light, is being extinguished. (4)  This the entirety of the heart, this the bond of joy, this the nectar to the eyes of men, is being Led away by the executioners. (5)  All this is done (to the lad); this eye is removed; this, the heart, named ’son’, been plucked out, is taken away. (6)  Therefore, quickly let an effort be made for the liberation of our son. Giving away even every possession, free both son and me. (7)  May your wishes be fulfilled; may your mind accomplish its hope. Would that I see him, your son, alive." (8)
