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.

[73] came thence through the sky above, by magic power, to the great cemetery and, having bowed in due order to the community of monks headed by the Elder Ānanda, sat down on a side.  King Ajātaśatru heard that the minister, Pracaṇḍa, who was jealous by nature had done this and that injury to the maiden Kāśisundarī in the park  and had laid false accusations against Suvarṇavarṇa, who, though faultless, was abandoned to execution.  Having heard thus, his eyes filled with intense anger, he addressed his courtiers:  "Sirs, how, indeed, should this evil-minded one have judged thus? I disown the minister, Pracaṇḍa, in every way."  The minister, Pracaṇḍa, too, was in that very gathering.  Now, having heard these words of the king, the minister Pracaṇḍa, his eyes rolling on account of despair at the fear of death, and trembling in all the limbs of his body, suddenly arose and attempted to flee.  As he was hated by the populace, many hundreds of thousands of beings ran forth towards him and,  being thus surrounded on all sides, he was captured by the great mass of people. Having captured him, they began to beat him with hard slaps, kicks, etc.  While being beaten, he was smitten by the pangs of severe pain and began to cry out:  "Noble Ānanda, save me that am helpless, without protection, without a refuge, without resort, and devoid of light. Grant me my dear life."
