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.

[41] Seeing him being removed from the city, many hundreds of thousands of beings began to cry out aloud in one voice:  "Ah! Alas! this caravan leader, Divākara, is deprived of the whole of his possessions.  The Lineage of the parents of the caravan leader Divākara is cut.  This Light of the family of the caravan leader Divākara is extinguished.  This joy of the family of the caravan leader Divākara is made to disappear.  This crest-jewel of the family of the caravan leader Divākara is snatched away.  This eye of the caravan leader Divākara is removed.  This ornament of the family of the caravan leader Divākara is snatched away.  This heart of the caravan leader Divākara is rent asunder.  These, the Life-breaths personified, of the caravan leader Divākara are snatched away.  Ah! Alas! how, indeed, is the lad, having been taken about as if in the forest, driven out; and no one has rescued him.  Now this moon city of Rājagṛha is swallowed by Rāhu in the form of Death.  This sun (Divākara) in the vault of the sky of the city of Rājagṛha is setting.  This nectar to the eyes of the citizens dwelling in the city of Rājagṛha is set upon a path beyond the reach of vision.  This bond of joy of the citizens dwelling in the city of Rājagṛha is broken off.  This ornament of the citizens dwelling in the city of Rājagṛha is snatched away.  This crest-jewel of the citizens dwelling in the city of Rājagṛha is snatched away.  This beloved of the hearts of the citizens dwelling in the city of Rājagṛha is taken away for destruction.  Whom, now, will the citizens dwelling in the city of Rājagṛha look upon with unwinking eyes.  Now, beholding whom will they become happy at heart?" They became devoid of hope.
