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.

[99] After she said thus, the caravan leader reflected: "This bean-cake is small.  How can I, having been such in this very city, now make such a limited gift to the Fortunate One, while the king, ministers, brahmins, householders and citizens look on.  However, I will give it wrapped in a leaf, thus I will not be found out." Thinking thus, he entered that ruined lying-in chamber and began to look for a leaf, but could find none.  Then that caravan leader, even more dejected at heart, heaved a long and hot sigh, saying: "Ah, alas! So unfortunate am I."  Suddenly, having emerged from that ruined lying-in chamber, with a great surge of faith, he put that bean-cake in the bowl of the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin.  Having put it, he fell at his feet and began to make an earnest wish: "O, Fortunate One, by this root of merit, the giving of a meritorious gift, from this very birth onwards, may I never even for a single day, be poor. May I be very rich, replete with ingredients of wealth and means."  Immediately, at the very moment the caravan leader Karṇa fell at the feet of the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, that most ugly emaciatedness of his disappeared and the Lustre of his former complexion returned.
