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.

[117] At a later time, a monk named Ajita, a preacher of the law possessing a ready presence of mind, and versed in diverse and charming stories,  while journeying over the countryside, came to that monastery.  He, too, preached the law to the fourfold assemblies.  He expounded the holy life that was excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, excellent at the end, of good purport, well expressed, complete, perfect, clean and pure.  He won the faith of the entire multitude of people dwelling in that village.  He became the recipient of equipment consisting of robes, bowl, couch and medicines to cure the sick.  The profit and respect of that resident monk, the preacher of the law, was lost. It occurred to him thus:  "The loss of my profit and respect has been brought about by the monk Ajita.  So, how could there be profit and respect for me as long as he remains here?  I must think of a plan that would cause his departure."  Again, he reflected: "The learned are indeed fearful of the loss of respect.  I should employ (a strategy that would bring about) a want of respect towards him." Having conceived thus, he told a certain Brahmin girl:  "Sister, I will give you a pair of garments, slander this monk Ajita, saying "He practised unchastity together with me".  She replied: "Noble one, if I were to say so, who would then marry me?  I will surely have to be looked after by my mother and father for as long as I live."  He said: "I will act in such a way that it will not become known to many people.  On the other hand, you may talk freely when I am seated here together with three or four other monks."  She agreed to do accordingly.
