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.
 
If you cannot find the letters on your key-board, you may click on the link "Diacritica" to access it for your search.

[39] The minister, Pracaṇḍa, having heard it became angry and said:  "What has not been investigated in this matter that it has to be investigated again, and that you should say the royal treasury will be augmented?  How is it that we would augment the royal treasury with wealth illegitimately obtained?  Nor have you understood the wish of the king.  In every way, making use of the people of Vaiśālī, you are surely desirous of doing harm to this king in that by this plan you wish to utter blame of this king, saying  "The king indeed acts unlawfully since by not investigating, he destroys the people".  He rebuked them and having done so  - he had four men like the servants of Yama, of very dreadful deeds, of pitiless disposition on account of constant habit, and devoid of compassion - he summoned them and said:  "Go quickly, supervise the executioners,  and address them in my name saying: "Quickly drive him out from the city and execute him in the stipulated manner.  Nor is he to be released at the request of anyone other than myself or the king.  It will be good for you to act accordingly, otherwise I shall inflict severe punishment upon you".  Those royal servants having assured him saying "It shall be so", set out, sword in hand.
