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.

If you cannot find the letters on your key-board, you may click on the link "Diacritica" to access it for your search.

[42] One of the servants of the minister Pracaṇḍa came and informed that the lad Suvarṇavarṇa had been driven out from the city of Rājagṛha. Hearing it, he became glad at heart. Then those citizens, the men of business, having heard it, became devoid of hope. They returned and related that episode in detail to those citizens. On hearing it, those citizens, too, became devoid of hope. Distressed, they said to one another: "Sirs, this quarrelsome king deprived his father, who was such a pious and righteous king, of his life. Now, he has begun to execute even such distinguished men of renowned virtues, dear to the populace, and rarely to be seen. Ah! the mercilessness! Ah! the lack of appreciation of virtues! Ah! the lack of discrimination of the ministers! How is such a virtuous and distinguished man who is, indeed, thus worthy of respect on account of the exceeding nobility of his figure, and on account of being well-behaved, given up for execution without investigation? Perhaps such a time has come as that when the bad prosper, and there will be such a separation of one endowed with such virtues." Manifesting the decline of the times, they related this episode in detail to the caravan leader, Divākara.
