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.

[82] The male and female slaves, workmen and servants of the caravan leader Karṇa, seeing that disaster and thinking ‘let us go, lest we too should perish’, became frightened and fled, abandoning the wife of the caravan leader Karṇa.  Then, a certain handmaid reflected:  "I have enjoyed manifold blessings in the house of the caravan leader Karṇa.  It is not becoming that in this situation I should flee abandoning his wife who is helpless and alone."  Only she remained by the side of the caravan leader’s wife.  All that wealth of that caravan leader’s wife was consumed by the fire and she did not have even a day’s meal left.
