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.

[118] On another day, when that monk, the preacher of the Law, was seated together with the monks at the entrance to the cell and engaged in conversation, that Brahmin girl came and said:  "Noble ones, taking you to be monks we think this place is to be approached without apprehension.  So, how is it proper that I was forcibly held by this monk Ajita and deprived of my maidenhood?"  Thereupon, those monks shut their ears and said: "Sister, do not speak so. It is not fit to be heard."  Then, that monk, the preacher of the Law, said: "What impropriety, what impropriety" and uttered censure of the monk Ajita.  Finally, being repeated from ear to ear, it was heard by the monk Ajita.  On hearing it, he said: "Who said so?" Being told: "This monk, the preacher of the Law",  he went to where that monk, the preacher of the Law, was  and said: "Venerable sir, what wrong have I done to you, that you thus utter my censure?  Angry at him, he uttered a harsh speech: "So evil a deed have you done that you deserve the stake."  On hearing that, it occurred thus to the monk Ajita: "This ascetic is grieved and weakened".  Thinking thus, he took his bowl and robes, put away the bedding he had used and coming out of that monastery, set out.  Seeing him set out, the monks, nuns and the mass of people resident in that village, desirous of making him return, followed after him.
