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.

[114] Then the Perfectly Awakened One, Vipaśyin, departed, after thus predicting unsurpassed, perfect awakening for that man.  This incident spread everywhere in the capital city of Bandhumatī.  Finally it was heard of by the King, Bandhumant.  Having heard of it, he came himself, encouraged in mind by that accumulation of roots of merit, mounted that man upon the shoulder of an elephant and with very great honour conducted him to his palace. He sat him upon half of his throne and honoured him with a gift of half his kingdom.  He said: "O great king, I do not seek worldly pleasures, therefore please permit me to go forth and practise the holy life."  Given permission by the king, he went forth in the well-preached Law and discipline.  There, he practised the holy life for as long as he lived and at death was reborn among the Nirmanarati gods.  King Bandhumant, too, having died, his son was set upon the throne.  He, too, died after ruling for some time and the ministers with great respect set Surūpa upon the throne.  He ruled righteously for sixty thousand years  and at his death was reborn among the host of Tusita gods.
