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.

[24] The minister, Pracaṇḍa, said: "Sirs, wait a moment, till I inform the king."  He went to the palace of the king Ajātaśatru and asked the door-keeper: "What is his majesty doing?"  He said: "He is on the terrace at the top of the palace playing and amusing himself with musical entertainment provided by women alone."  As he was one who had gained (the king’s) confidence, he despatched a female door-keeper saying: "Go, inform his majesty of this request of his ministers:  ’The maiden Kāśisundarī has been slain in the park by the son of the caravan leader Divākara.  He, however, does not admit (of the crime). How should we proceed in this matter?’"  She went and informed the king. The king, being too occupied in amorous sport, said:  "Go, say thus to the ministers: ’May you yourselves carefully investigate.’"  She came out and informed the minister, Pracaṇḍa, saying: "His majesty authorizes thus."
