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.

[30] A maid from the house of the caravan leader Divākara came to the street.  She heard of these events and, crying and beating her breasts, went home in all haste. She approached the mother of the lad Suvarṇavarṇa, and threw herself before her.  The mother of the lad Suvarṇavarṇa became alarmed and asked:  "What do you say, maid?"  Crying aloud, she began to relate:  "Noble lady, the lad Suvarṇavarṇa, his hands tied firmly behind him, is being guarded by the executioners.  Alleging that he killed the maiden, Kāśisundarī, in the park, he has been given up for execution even without investigation, and is being proclaimed (as to his crime and punishment) in the carriage-roads, streets, junctions and cross-roads.  Before long, he will be taken to the great cemetery and executed.
