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.

[35] Thinking thus upon hundreds of thousands of misfortunes, faltering in his major and minor Limbs,  trembling, and with hesitant steps he somehow entered Rājagṛha. Hearing the noise of the Lamentation of the mass of the populace,  and following that noise of that Lamentation he came to the street and saw the mass of the populace smitten by the sorrow of separation and Lamenting as if the city had been attacked by demons.  He asked a man that came his way: "Sir, what is this?"  Not knowing that he was the caravan leader, Divākara, he replied: "The lad, Suvarṇavarṇa by name, is the son of the caravan leader Divākara.  He is excessively endowed with a wealth of handsomeness and like qualities.  It is said that, alleging that he killed the maiden Kāśisundarī in the park, he has been given up for execution without even an 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."  Having heard that, the caravan leader, Divākara, smitten by the grief of separation from his son, fainted forthwith and fell upon the ground.  Then, his senses regained after the sprinkling of water, he arose. His lotus-like face being filled with wave upon wave of tears, excited, and looking at him (he asked): "Alas, by which path will the lad Suvarṇavarṇa be taken?"  and speedily set out along the middle of the street.  As he looked, he saw his wife, her hair hanging down, beating her breasts with both hands, with doleful cries, uttering various lamentations and experiencing the sorrowful, sharp, harsh, bitter and unpleasant pain arising from the separation from her son.  He went up to her, his faltering voice choked with intense sorrow and his eyes flooded with tears.
