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.

[58] Just immediately after his words, the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, rent asunder the mountain of the false view of the existence of a personality, risen above with its 20 peaks, with the thunder-bolt of knowledge and realized the fruit of "entry into the stream".  Then, like a merchant that had obtained a profit, like a husbandman endowed with a good crop,  like a hero victorious in battle, like having regained the kingdom of a universal monarch, the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, became full of great joy and delight.  Remaining just there, with folded palms, he began to extol the Elder Ānanda:

"Homage to you, Elder Ānanda; homage to you, best of Elders; homage to you, great sage, the banner of the sons of the Victorious One. (1)  Ah! your compassion is abundant; Ah! your compassion is best; whence I have been rescued from this great hardship. (2)  Appropriate is your epithet "Protector of the World", which is wide-spread in the world, since I, distressed with fear and destitute of a protector, was liberated by you, the protector. (3)  You, the moon of a sage, with the cool rays of kindness and compassion, have risen to refresh the world distressed by the heat of suffering. (4)  What I have obtained, thanks to you, a "good friend"; that was done for me neither by mother nor by father nor even by friends. (5)  Closed are all evil ways. Laid open is the door to liberation. Dried up are all oceans, and passed over are the mountains of bones. (6)  Transmigration has neither beginning, middle nor end; it abounds with the fear of suffering. I have been placed at its end by your virtues, accompanied by wisdom (7)  The shaft of false view, embedded since beginningless time, has been drawn out; having obtained the best of physicians, feverless, I am comforted." (8)
