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.

[78] Thereupon, the king asked the Elder Ānanda: - "Elder, what deed was performed by the caravan leader Divākara, together with his wife,  as the fruit whereof he became rich and possessed of great wealth and great comforts;  and also achieved realization of the truth in the teaching of the Fortunate One?  What deeds were performed by the monks Kāśisundara and Pracaṇḍa, whereby, having gained birth in families that were rich, possessed of great wealth and great comforts, they obtained ordainment in the teaching of the Fortunate One and realized Arhatship by getting rid of all defilements?  What deed was performed by the monk, Suvarṇavarṇa, too, as the fruit whereof he was born in a family that was rich,  possessed of great wealth and great comforts, and is so handsome, charming and pleasant, endowed with all major and minor limbs, and provided with an excellent complexion the colour of purified gold, captivates the eyes and minds of everyone, and has a body clothed in golden-yellow garments?  From his body wafts the fragrance of sandal and from his mouth that of blue lotuses.  At his birth there fell showers of garments and Karṇikāra flowers; these garments were golden in colour.  Thus possessed of great power and of great might to an excessive degree, he has obtained ordainment in the teaching of the Fortunate One and has realized Arhatship by getting rid of all defilements."
