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.

[81] At that very time, there lived, in the royal city of Bandhumatī, a caravan leader by the name of Karṇa.  He was rich, had great wealth and great comforts; his acquisitions were extensive and large, and possessing the wealth of Vaiśravana, he rivaled him in wealth.  As he came from a prominent family in the royal city of Bandhumatī, he fetched a wife from a similar family  and played, sported and cohabited with her.  As he did so, his wife became pregnant.  Now, the caravan leader Karṇa, accompanied by five hundred merchants, set out upon the mighty ocean.
