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.

777. The royal prince departing from the court-master (i.e. the Purohita) and the great minister, Saddharma, keeping along the stream, then crossing the Ganges, he took the road towards the Vulture Peak, 
1. The prince, he of the broad and lusty chest, having thus dismissed the minister and the priest, crossed the Ganges with its speeding waves and went to Râjagriha with its beautiful palaces.

778. Hidden among the five mountains, standing alone a lovely peak as a roof amid (the others). The trees and shrubs and flowers in bloom, the flowing fountains, and the cooling rills,
779. (All these he gazed upon)--then passing on, he entered the city of the five peaks, calm and peaceful, as one come down from heaven. 
2. He reached the city distinguished by the five hills, well guarded and adorned with mountains, and supported and hallowed by auspicious sacred places,--like Brahman in a holy calm going to the uppermost heaven.

The country folk, seeing the royal prince, his comeliness and his excessive grace,
780. Though young in years, yet glorious in his person, incomparable as the appearance of a great master, seeing him thus, strange thoughts affected them, as if they gazed upon the banner (curtain) of Isvara. 
3. Having heard of his majesty and strength, and his splendid beauty, surpassing all other men, the people of that region were all astonished as at him who has a bull for his sign and is immovable in his vow.

781. They stayed the foot, who passed athwart the path; those hastened on, who were behind.; those going before, turned back their heads and gazed with earnest, wistful look. 
4. On seeing him, he who was going elsewhere stood still, and he who was standing there followed him in the way; he who was walking gently and gravely ran quickly, and he who was sitting at once sprang up.

782. The marks and distinguishing points of his person, on these they fixed their eyes without fatigue, and then approached with reverent homage, joining both their hands in salutation: 
5. Some people reverenced him with their hands, others in worship saluted him with their heads, some addressed him with affectionate words,--not one went on without paying him homage.

783. With all there was a sense of wondrous joy, as in their several ways they offered what they had, looking at his noble and illustrious features; bending down their bodies modestly, 
6. Those who were wearing gay-coloured dresses were ashamed when they saw him, those who were talking on random subjects fell to silence on the road; no one indulged in an improper thought, as at the presence of Religion herself embodied.

784. Correcting every careless or unseemly gesture, thus they showed their reverence to him silently; those who with anxious heart, seeking release, were moved by love, with feelings composed bowed down the more. 
7. In the men and the women on the highway, even though they were intent on other business, that conduct alone with the profoundest reverence seemed proper which is enjoined by the rules of royal homage; but his eyes never looked upon them. 
bhruvau lalāṭaṃ mukham īkṣaṇe8 vā vapuḥ karau vā caraṇau gatiṃ vā |

785. Great men and women, in their several engagements, at the same time arrested on their way, paid to his person and his presence homage: and following him as they gazed, they went not back. 
8. His brows, his forehead, his mouth, or his eyes,--his body, his hands, his feet, or his gait,--whatever part of him any one beheld, that at once riveted his eyes.

786. For the white circle between his eyebrows adorning his wide and violet colour’d eyes, his noble body bright as gold, his pure and web-joined fingers,
787. All these, though he were but a hermit, were marks of one who was a holy king; 
9. Having beheld him with the beautiful circle of hair between his brows and with long eyes, with his radiant body and his hands showing a graceful membrane between the fingers,--so worthy of ruling the earth and yet wearing a mendicant’s dress,--the Goddess of Râjagriha was herself perturbed. 
śreṇyo ’tha bhartā magadhājirasya bāhyād12 vimānād vipulaṃ janaugham |

and now the men and women of Râgagriha, the old and young alike, were moved,
788. (And cried), ’This man so noble as a recluse, what common joy is this for us.’ 
10. Then Srenya, the lord of the court of the Magadhas, beheld from the outside of his palace the immense concourse of people, and asked the reason of it; and thus did a man recount it to him: 
jñānaṃ paraṃ vā pṛthivīśriyaṃ vā viprair ya ukto ’dhigamiṣyatīti |

(11)爾時12 瓶沙王 處於高觀上
(12)見彼諸士女 惶惶異常儀
(13)勅召一外人 備問何因縁
(14)恭跪王樓下 具白所見聞

At this time Bimbasâra Râga, placed upon a high tower of observation,
789. Seeing all those men and women, in different ways exhibiting one mark of surprise, calling before him some man outside, enquired at once the cause of it;
790. This one bending his knee below the tower, told fully what he had seen and heard,
’That one of the Sâkya race, renowned of old, a prince most excellent and wonderful,
791. ’Divinely wise, beyond the way of this world, a fitting king to rule the eight regions, now without home, is here, and all men are paying homage to him.’ 
11. ‘He who was thus foretold by the Brâhmans, "he will either attain supreme wisdom or the empire of the earth,"--it is he, the son of the king of the Sâkyas, who is the ascetic whom the people are gazing at.’ 
tataḥ śrutārtho manasāgatāstho14 rājā babhāṣe puruṣaṃ tam eva |

(18)王聞心驚喜 形留神已馳
(19)勅使者速還 伺候進趣宜
(20)奉教密隨從 瞻察所施爲

792. The king on hearing this was deeply moved at heart, and though his body was restrained, his soul had gone. Calling his ministers speedily before him, and all his nobles and attendants,
793. He bade them follow secretly the (prince’s) steps, to observe what charity was given. 
12. The king, having heard this and perceived its meaning with his mind, thus at once spoke to that man: ‘Let it be known whither he is going;’ and the man, receiving the command, followed the prince.

(So in obedience to the command) they followed and watched him steadfastly, as with even gait and unmoved presence
794. He entered on the town and begged his food, according to the rule of all great hermits, 
13. With unrestless eyes, seeing only a yoke’s length before him, with his voice hushed, and his walk slow and measured, he, the noblest of mendicants, went begging alms, keeping his limbs and his wandering thoughts under control.

with joyful mien and undisturbed mind, not anxious whether much or little alms were given;
795. Whatever he received, costly or poor, he placed within his bowl, then turned back to the wood, and having eaten it and drank of the flowing stream, he joyous sat upon the immaculate mountain. 
14. Having received such alms as were offered, he retired to a lonely cascade of the mountain; and having eaten it there in the fitting manner, he ascended the mountain Pânḍava.

796. (There he beheld) the green trees fringing with their shade the crags, the scented flowers growing between the intervals, whilst the peacocks and the other birds, joyously flying, mingled their notes; 
15. In that wood, thickly filled with lodhra trees, having its thickets resonant with the notes of the peacocks, he the sun of mankind shone, wearing his red dress, like the morning sun above the eastern mountain.

797. His sacred garments bright and lustrous, (shone) as the sun-lit mulberry leaves; the messengers beholding his fixed composure, one by one (returning), reported what they had seen; 
16. That royal attendant, having thus watched him there, related it all to the king Srenya; and the king, when he heard it, in his deep veneration, started himself to go thither with a modest retinue.

798. The king hearing it, was moved at heart, and forthwith ordered his royal equipment to be brought, his god-like crown and his flower-bespangled robes; then, as the lion-king, he strided forth, 
17. He who was like the Pânḍavas in heroism, and like a mountain in stature, ascended Pânḍava, that noblest of mountains,--a crown-wearer, of lion-like gait, a lion among men, as a maned lion ascends a mountain.

799. And choosing certain aged persons of consideration, learned men, able calmly and wisely to discriminate, he (with them) led the way followed by a hundred thousand people, who like a cloud ascended with the king the royal mountain. 
18. There he beheld the Bodhisattva, resplendent as he sat on his hams, with subdued senses, as if the mountain were moving, and he himself were a peak thereof,--like the moon rising from the top of a cloud.

800. And now beholding the dignity of Bodhisattva, every outward gesture (spring of action) under government, sitting with ease upon the mountain crag, as the moon shining limpid in the pure heavens,
801. So (was) his matchless beauty and purity of grace; then as the converting presence of religion 
19. Him, distinguished by his beauty of form and perfect tranquillity as the very creation of Religion herself,--filled with astonishment and affectionate regard the king of men approached, as Indra the self-existent (Brahman).

dwelling within the heart makes it reverential, so (beholding him) he reverently approached,
802. Even as divine Sâkara comes to the presence of Mo-hi-su-ma, 
20. He, the chief of the courteous, having courteously drawn nigh to him, inquired as to the equilibrium of his bodily humours; and the other with equal gentleness assured the king of his health of mind and freedom from all ailments.
