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.

[116] Again, king Ajātaśatru said this to the Elder Ānanda: "What deed, venerable Ānanda, did the monk Suvarṇavarṇa perform,  due to the ripening of which he was placed upon a stake though faultless and harmless, and having gone forth became an Arhat?  The Elder Ānanda said: "Formerly, O great king, in the past, the Perfectly Awakened One, Candra by name, was born in the world.  The Tathāgata, the Worthy One, the Perfectly Awakened One, endowed with wisdom and good conduct, the Sugata, world-knowing, having no superior, tamer of men worthy of being tamed, the teacher of gods and of men, the Awakened, the Fortunate One, dwelt near a certain capital city.  Now, at that time, in a certain monastery was a certain monk, a preacher of the law.  He preached the law to the Brahmans and householders that came to him from time to time.  There arose great profit and honour for him.
