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.

[74] The Elder Ānanda spoke to that great mass of people:  "Sirs, do not kill this man. I will conciliate King Ajātaśatru".  Thereupon, that great mass of people, having listened to the words of the Elder Ānanda, released him.  The Elder Ānanda, too, began to look at the king.  The king said: "What is it you command?"  The Elder Ānanda replied: "Release this man, O Great King".  The king said: "I will release him on the condition that he, having obtained ordainment in the well-enunciated doctrine and discipline, waits on the Elder Ānanda for as long as he lives."  The Elder Ānanda said: "Let it be so."  He (Pracaṇḍa), too, unmercifully beaten by that mass of people, and smitten by the pangs of severe pain remained unconscious.  The Elder Ānanda spoke to the venerable Suvarṇavarṇa: "Allay the pangs of pain from the body of the minister, Pracaṇḍa, by a truthful resolve."  Then, the venerable Suvarṇavarṇa, with his mind set upon his earnest wish for the welfare of all beings, began to make a truthful resolve:  "By the truth, by the asseveration of truth that, though he was thus very harmful, there arose not in me even the slightest enmity towards the minister, Pracaṇḍa,  by that truth, by that asseveration of truth, may the feeling of pain be allayed from his body."  Immediately after this truthful resolve, the feeling of pain passed away from the body of the minister, Pracaṇḍa.  His body restored to normal, he arose and, with respect begotten for the teaching of the Fortunate One, went to the Elder Ānanda, fell at his feet and said:  "Would that I, O Elder Ānanda, obtain entry to the Order, ordination and the state of a monk in the well-enunciated doctrine and discipline; would that I practise the holy life under the guidance of the Elder Ānanda.  He was entered into the Order by the Elder Ānanda, and was instructed in such a way that, at that very moment, he obtained Arhatship by getting rid of all the defilements.  With Arhatship obtained, he rose into the vault of the sky and delighted the minds of the populace with various miracles.  Descending from the vault of the sky, he made obeisance to the community of monks headed by the Elder Ānanda in due order and sat on a side.
