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.

[100] Then, after making his earnest wish, the caravan leader Karṇa arose, and the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, returning thence, went to the forest of Bandhumatī.  Now, the caravan leader Karṇa was recognized by the merchants and caravan leaders of Bandhumatī.  Thereupon, a certain caravan leader said this to the citizens:  "Sirs, we are not indifferent to the caravan leader Karṇa who is impoverished";  and spreading a cloth he added: "Sirs, it is possible for one to be rescued by many, but not many by one.  So, please place whatever any of you wish to give away upon this cloth."  When he said so, many hundreds of thousands of ornaments such as necklaces, chains, bangles, bracelets, ear-rings, full and half necklaces and rings were made over to him by many a person;  as were also many hundreds of thousands of pairs of garments of Kāśi, Dukūla, Koṭambaka, Kauśeya and Aparāntaka cloth, fine, of very great expense and splendid.  There arose for him at that very moment a very large heap of clothes and ornaments.  Then, the caravan leader Karṇa looked at that wealth, and said to his wife:  "Good lady, look, the shoot of the seed of a gift upon a good field has made its appearance."  She, too, becoming happy and joyous, bowed to the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, and began to take those clothes and ornaments into that ruined lying-in chamber.
