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.

[27] The minister, Pracaṇḍa, again ordered them harshly saying: "Why do you delay?"  Frightened, they went near him  and, their eyes filled with tears and trembling, seized and tied him, hands behind, with that same golden-yellow garment (he wore).  Seeing him firmly tied, hands behind, the entire mass of people at the hall of justice, except the minister, Pracaṇḍa, their thoughts moved by the distress of separation from him, began to shed tears:  "Ah, alas!" this lad, the sight of whom is difficult to obtain, will soon cease to be."  He was then taken to the street by the executioners. Just at that moment, an uproar arose and upon hearing it, a mass of people assembled there, the inhabitants of Rājagṛha and those that had come from the countries (of the) various quarters, women, men, boys and girls.  Seeing the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, hands tied firmly behind him, they became distracted in mind and began to ask excitedly: "Sirs, what is this?"  Their voices faltering on account of being choked with tears, those executioners then said, lamenting:  "Sirs, alleging he killed the maiden, Kāśisundarī, the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, has been given up for execution and is being proclaimed [as to his crime and punishment] in the carriage-roads, streets, junctions and cross-roads.  Before long, he will be taken to the great cemetery and executed."
