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.

[62] Then, the lad, Suvarṇavarṇa, began to reflect: "If I tell this king that this act was caused to be done to me by the minister, Pracaṇḍa, as this king is impetuous, there is the chance that he would immediately execute the minister, Pracaṇḍa. Therefore, how should I proceed in this matter? Or rather, the responsibility for the consequences of one’s own actions should he had recourse to. Surely, in former births, I have committed a sinful and unwholesome act of which this is the consequence; except on account of the consequence of former actions, a faultless one would not thus be abandoned for execution." Having arrived at this decision he told the king:

lha cig gaṅ la yid ’dra ba’i || rnam smin ñe bar gnas pa ’di ||
sdig pa sṅon gyi tshe rabs su || bdag ñid kyis ni (2) byas pa yin || bdag ñid kyis ni byas pa’i las || yid du mi ’oṅ źes bya de ||
rnam smin la ni loṅs spyod na || khyod la bdag gis su źig bstan ||

"That sinful act was committed by me alone in former births, O King, of which a consequence such as this is at hand. (1) Therefore, experiencing now the consequence, undesired as it is, of one’s own acts, whom, indeed, shall I point out?" (2)

Having said thus, he went near the Elder Ānanda, and fell down prostrate at his feet. The Elder Ānanda said: "Dear child, this maiden, Kāśisundarī, has been seized by the effect of poison. So, arise and make her well by means of a truthful resolve, and win the confidence of the great mass of people."
