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.

[122] Now, the caravan leader Divākara, putting the upper robe over one shoulder and placing his right knee upon the ground, said this with folded palms to the Elder Ānanda:  "O noble Ānanda, I had thought of inviting the community of monks headed by the Awakened One to my house, feeding them with excellent food and clothing them with robes costing hundreds of thousands.  But as that Fortunate One has entered Nirvāṇa, I now wish to feed the community of monks headed by the noble Ānanda."  The Elder Ānanda said: "O caravan leader, you do so. I will act in such a way that all the disciples of the Fortunate One resident in Jambudvīpa will come here."  Then the caravan leader Divākara, his mind filled with joy, made a very delightful place of assembly outside the city of Rājagṛha.  It was free from stones, pebbles and gravel.  It had flags and banners raised aloft. It was sprinkled with sandal-water.  Fastened on were bundles of streamers and garlands.  It was bestrewn with various flowers.  It had pots of fragrant incense laid out and very beautiful canopies and gateways.  That very night he prepared pure and excellent food and drink.  He arose quite early, arranged the seats, set up water-pots  and informed the Elder Ānanda by messenger that it was time saying:  "It is time, Sir, the food is ready if you please."
