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.

[31] On hearing that, the lad Suvarṇavarṇa’s mother, smitten with intense grief, fainted and fell on the ground.  Then, her senses returned with the sprinkling of water, she arose, and, lamenting: "Alas, my son, alas my son", tearing her hair, beating her breasts, trembling and falling into a stupor again and again, came out of the house and on to the street.  Smitten with the sorrow of separation from her son, bewildered at heart, and uttering various lamentations, she asked each person:  "By which road will the lad Suvarṇavarṇa be taken?"  Wailing: "Alas! I do not see my son. Help me, help me, show me my son", she set out along the middle of the street.
