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.

[49] In the meantime, the executioners, supervised by those royal servants, arrived at the great cemetery with the lad Suvarṇavarṇa.  The maiden Kāśisundarī, too, placed upon a bier decorated with blue, yellow, red, and white cloth,  was taken out by her own relatives to the great cemetery. Her relatives put her down at a certain place, and having gathered wood began to build a funeral pile.  They were told by those executioners:  "You should not place her upon the funeral pile as yet.  Wait till we execute the lad Survarṇavarṇa by impaling him upon the stake, because the lad Suvarṇavarṇa should be cremated upon the same pyre together with the maiden Kāśisundarī."  Having said so, they began to erect the stake upon the ground.
