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.

[85] Reviled by them, she thought:  "Now, the wife of the caravan leader is entirely devoid of help.  How should I proceed in this matter?  But, since I have taken on this responsibility, I must now look after the caravan leader’s wife even better."  Thereupon, she went to the houses of others and began to work for wages  and with whatever money she obtained thereby, began to maintain the caravan leader’s wife, herself, and the boy.  Because of his extreme ugliness, that boy was named Virūpa.  As Fate would have it, that handmaid obtained a sum of money that decreased every day.  Thenceforth, the three of them began to maintain themselves with intense hardship.
