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.

[3] Śakra, the lord of the gods, saw that deity who was destined to die and who, having surveyed the world adorned by the arising of the Buddha, being desirous of Nirvāṇa, wished to obtain rebirth among men. Having seen him, he approached that deity and said:  "If you, dear friend, wish to obtain rebirth among men, do so in the womb of the wife of the caravan leader Divākara in the city of Rājagṛha."  He replied: "Kauśika, that caravan leader is an unbeliever; he has no faith in the teaching of the Buddha."  Śakra said: "Dear friend, you obtain rebirth (as directed), and I will act in such a way that that caravan leader will have faith in the teaching of the Buddha."  The deity replied: "Kauśika, if that caravan leader, together with his wife, should take refuge in the Three Jewels for the length of his life, then I will obtain rebirth in the womb of his wife."
