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.

[101] The lad, Virūpa, too, entered that park belonging to his father and, his mind tormented by the pain of hunger, and grieving again and again over that great deformity of his, reflected:  "I am a doer of evil. Great hardship is my lot. I am greatly deformed and inauspicious to look at. What is the use of my living?  By all means I will kill myself." Thus depressed in mind, he immediately climbed upon the topmost branch of a Pātāla tree.  The branch of the tree broke, and immediately falling down with it he remained afflicted by pain.
