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.

[51] Then, having heard their conversation, and having looked at the stake fixed in the ground, the lad Suvarṇavarṇa thought:  "Soon, I will certainly cease to be",  and distressed by the deficiencies of transmigration, yearning for the path to deliverance, perceiving himself to be devoid of joy, and eyes rolling with the despair of great fear, began to cry out:  "Ah, alas! now, after having obtained human birth [providing access to] the great festival of the true law which is very difficult to he attained, I am to die without accomplishing my object.  Ah! again I will wander in the circuit of mundane existence.  Again will I have to dwell in the prison of transmigration.  Again will I have to wander about in the wilderness of transmigration.  Again will I have to enter the great thicket of transmigration.  Again will I have to fall down upon the great precipice of transmigration.  Again will I have to remain in the middle of the mire of transmigration.  Again will I have to be reborn in hells such as Samjīva, Kalasutra, Samghata, Raurava, Maharaurava, Tapana, Pratapana and Avīci.  Again will I be reborn in different forms as elephant, ox, buffalo, hare, sarabha, deer, antelope and cat.  Again will I have to be reborn amongst departed spirits such as those having a goitre in their necks, having such as urine, excrement, spittle and mucus for food, deprived of hearing the words for food and drink, and filled with the melancholy of the great pains such as of constant hunger and thirst.
