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.

[102] Now, there is nothing that is not known, not seen, not understood or not comprehended by the Awakened, the Fortunate Ones.  The Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, saw with the pure, superhuman and divine eye of an Awakened One, the lad Virūpa who was thus pained.  Seeing him and being moved by great compassion, he went to that park by magic power, and discharged a radiance from his body.  The rays of compassion of the Fortunate One accumulated over hundreds of thousands of kalpas were discharged.  Indeed, at the mere touch of them, what feeling of bodily pain Virūpa had, vanished, and that pain of hunger and thirst was allayed.  Getting up immediately, he saw the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, a sight difficult to obtain within hundreds of thousands of crores of niyutas of kalpas, radiant with his body resplendent with the thirty-two marks of a great being.  With the sight of him, there arose in him great faith towards the Fully Awakened, the Fortunate One, Vipaśyin.  He was covered in a piece of cloth a cubit in length and the colour of tumeric.  Overcome by faith, he took it off his body and with a great surge of faith immediately put it upon the Teacher, Vipaśyin, together with a Karṇikāra flower.  The Tathāgata, the Arhat, the Fully Awakened, the Fortunate One, Vipaśyin, exercised his power in such a way that the piece of cloth being transformed to the size of his body, he caused it to cover his body.  The Karṇikāra flower, too, having become the size of a cart-wheel, stood above him like an umbrella.  Having seen that, very great faith arose in the lad Virūpa.  With a great surge of faith, he fell at the feet of the Fully Awakened One, Vipaśyin, and in a loud voice, began to make an earnest wish:

"By this gift, here in this world, O best of Men, may I cast aside ugliness and obtain handsomeness from today onwards. (1)  Of a golden complexion and dressed in clothes of a golden hue, may there he the fragrance of sandal and blue-lotus from my body and my mouth. (2)  May I he a Fully Awakened One, possessed of a sheen of golden hue, captivating the mind of all the world, freed from all disease and a master of the purport of all the śastras; (3)  meaningful in every word, free from all that is evil; all-supreme, and all-seeing, and adorned in all manner; (4)  all aims accomplished, devoted to all beings, possessed of all pure virtues, glorious, endowed with all wealth and happy."
