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.

[86] The caravan leader’s wife thought:  "I am, indeed, abandoned by all the female and male slaves, workmen and servants, and by friends, associates and relations.  My whole life is dependent upon this handmaid.  She is like my mother in affection.  Now, working alone for so long a time, she will become exhausted.  Also, it is not possible to maintain ourselves with what money she obtains.  Therefore, I, too, will suffer the sin of my own mis-deeds.  I, too, will work for wages." Thinking thus, she began to go to the houses of others together with that handmaid and work for wages.  She was very delicate, and being tormented by the pains such as of hunger, swooned again and again while working.  Then, exhausted, heaving a long and hot sigh, and calling to mind the caravan leader Karṇa, she began to cry:  "Ah, alas! Such is the reversal that has befallen me that, indeed, having once enjoyed an abundance of fortune as the best in the entire city, I, who was the foremost therein, now, in this very birth, experience great pain and dejection, working for wages in the houses of others."
