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.

[13] The lad Suvarṇavarṇa constantly attended upon learned men, ascetics and Brāhmaṇas. Whatever excellent sayings con-formable to the path of liberation he heard, he wrote them down in a book. The caravan leader Divākara had a park full of flowers, fruits and water, outside the city of Rājagṛha. The lad Suvarṇavarṇa went daily to that park of his father and remained there reciting his book of excellent sayings. Now, at that time, there lived in the city of Rājagṛha a courtesan by the name of Kāśisundarī. Full of beauty and youth, she was dear to the populace. King Ajātaśatru, too, had a minister, Pracaṇḍa by name, whom he highly esteemed. His mind exceedingly enamoured of the maiden Kāśisundarī, he (the minister) went with her daily to his own park and enjoyed amorous sport.
