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.

[16] The minister Pracaṇḍa, too, waited a Long time for her in his park and, being exhausted, entered the city at the time of sunset.  He sent a messenger to her house asking Kāśisundarī: "Why did you not come to my park today?"  The maiden Kāśisundarī made an excuse saying: "Sir, I did not come to the park, as a headache pains me much today."  People being friendly, hostile or neutral, one of the latter said:  "A headache pains her not; but rather she had gone to the park, to the presence of the lad Suvarṇavarṇa.  I saw her returning from his park."  On hearing this, the minister Pracaṇḍa became full of anger and reflected:  "I will do such harm that, tomorrow, the maiden Kāśisundarī will cease to exist, so will the lad Suvarṇavarṇa, too."  Thus, of enmities, that begotten of women is despicable.  His heart consumed by the fire of wrath, he spent that night miserably.  At daybreak he summoned a trusted man saying:  "Take your sword. I am going to the park outside Rājagṛha. I have some important business there."  Saying "So be it", that man took his sword and followed behind him.  Thereupon, the minister Pracaṇḍa departed from the city of Rājagṛha with that man and, entering the park of the caravan leader Divākara, remained there.
