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.

[98] Thereupon, the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, discharged a radiance by which that ruined lying-in chamber suddenly became possessed of a radiance of molten gold both within and without. The radiance abounded in the colour of extremely purified liquid gold.  It surpassed a thousand flashes of lightning; in its redness it was like the fire kindled with the pouring of showers of butter oblations; like full-blown Kiṃśuka, Aśoka, red-lotus, Kuraṇṭa, and Karavīra; like the twilight clouds; like Campaka, the sap of the Kusumbha; like the palate of an elephant, and like rubies.  [See two records above]  Seeing it, the caravan leader Karṇa arose wondering "What is this?",  and saw the Fortunate, the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, his figure adorned with the thirty-two marks of a great man. He was, as it were, the embodiment of the Law. He was like the sacrificial-fire sprinkled with oblations.  His body was covered with a halo of lustre the colour of refined liquid gold, karṇikāra, kuṅkuma, kusumbha, haritāla, manaḥśilā, red-lotus, tinted clouds of autumn twilights, necks of peacocks, clouds, onyx, royal fillets, Hiṅguluka, Atimuktaka, and Kuraṇṭaka.  On looking at him, there arose great faith in the caravan leader Karṇa.  Thinking "What shall I give the Fortunate One?", he surveyed his possessions and saw that single bean-cake.  Taking it, he said to his wife: "Good lady, I brought this bean-cake thinking that I should not indeed enter the house empty-handed.  Now, this Fortunate One, the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, is most worthy of gifts and compassionate towards the wretched and the miserable.  The seed of a gift, though small, bestowed hereupon, eradicates the misfortune of poverty.  I will therefore give this bean-cake to the Fortunate One."  She replied: "Noble sir, it is excellent. Please do so.  Even this much root of merit will be a cause for happiness in our transmigrations."
