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.

[91] The caravan leader Karṇa, his ship destroyed in the great ocean, somehow found a plank and, accompanied by a lad, returned coming out of the water onto the land.  Wandering about for alms with great hardship, he came to the capital city of Bandhumatī.  There, he took shelter for the night in a field outside the city.  In that place was a certain hired labourer as caretaker of the field, and he recognized him.  It occurred to him: "Here is the caravan leader, his body quite emaciated and his entire store of wealth destroyed, arrived in the company of a lad.  So, how will I inform him of the news regarding his house? However, he will come to know of it himself."  Having observed thus, he gave him water for washing his hands and presented him with a couple of bean-cakes.  Thereupon, the caravan leader Karṇa, put one bean-cake aside.  Thinking: "Let me not enter the house empty-handed", he entrusted one to the hands of the boy and dividing the other into quarters, ate it together with that boy as they had had no food.  On another day the caravan leader Karṇa, taking that bean-cake, entered the capital city of Bandhumatī and proceeded towards his house. His body was extremely rugged and emaciated. He was possessed merely of a single garment that was very dirty.
