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.

[68] Then, having extolled the Elder Ānanda, the caravan leader, Divākara, arose, went up to the lad Suvarṇavarṇa,  together with his wife, embraced him tightly, and repeatedly covered him with kisses.  Greatly delighted and his eyes filled with tears of joy, looking steadily at the lad Suvarṇavarṇa, he said: -

"By good fortune, I again see your body obtained after hundreds of wishes, and which surpasses the glory and beauty of the splendour of the orb of the full moon in autumn. (1)  On account of the Elder Ānanda I see, again, your face with its eyes that are somewhat red at the corners, elongated, dark and shining." (2)
