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.

135 (10.7) yathā daṇḍena gopālo gā poceti gocaraṃ
evaṃ jarā ca maccu ca āyuṃ pācenti pāṇinaṃ. 
 
135 As a cowherd with his staff drives his cows into the stable, so do Age and Death drive the life of men.

136 A fool does not know when he commits his evil deeds: but the wicked man burns by his own deeds, as if burnt by fire.

parikkhayaṃ va ñātīnaṃ bhogānaṃ va pabhaṅguraṃ

 
人所誣咎 或縣官厄

139 Or a misfortune coming from the king, or a fearful accusation, or loss of relations, or destruction of treasures, 
140 (10.12) atha vāssa agārāni aggi ḍahati pāvako
kāyassa bhedā duppañño nirayaṃ so upapajjati.

(14) 雖倮剪髮 長服草衣
沐浴踞石 (15) 奈癡結何
(不伐殺燒 亦不求勝
(16) 人愛天下 所適無怨) 
141 Not nakedness, not platted hair, not dirt, not fasting, or lying on the earth, not rubbing with dust, not sitting motionless, can purify a mortal who has not overcome desires. 
142 (10.14) alaṅkato ce pi samaṃ careyya santo danto niyato brahmacārī
sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṃ so brāhmaṇo so samaṇo sa bhikkhu. 
: (20) 自嚴以修法 滅損受淨行
(21) 杖不加群生 是沙門道人 
142 He who, though dressed in fine apparel, exercises tranquillity, is quiet, subdued, restrained, chaste, and has ceased to find fault with all other beings, he indeed is a Brahmana, an ascetic (sramana), a friar (bhikshu). 
143 (10.15) hirīnisedho puriso koci lokasmiṃ vijjati
yo nindaṃ apabodhati asso bhadro kasāmiva. 
世黨有人 (17) 能知慚愧
是名誘進 如策良馬 
143 Is there in this world any man so restrained by humility that he does not mind reproof, as a well-trained horse the whip? 
144 (10.16) asso yathā bhadro kasāniviṭiṭho
ātāpino saṃvegino bhavātha
saddhāya sīlena ca vīriyena ca
samādhinā dhammavinicchayena ca
sampannavijjācaraṇā patissatā
pahassatha dukkhamidaṃ anappakaṃ. 
565b18-23, 570c9-10 ::: (18) 如策善馬 進道能遠
人有信戒 (19) 定意精進
受道慧成 便滅衆苦
((22) 無害於天下 終身不遇害
(23) 常慈於一切 孰能與爲怨)
(9) 如馬調軟 隨意所如
信戒精進 (10) 定法要具
明行成立 忍和意定
(11) 是斷諸苦 隨意所如 
144 Like a well-trained horse when touched by the whip, be ye active and lively, and by faith, by virtue, by energy, by meditation, by discernment of the law you will overcome this great pain (of reproof), perfect in knowledge and in behaviour, and never forgetful. 
145 (10.17) udakaṃ hi nayanti nettikā usukārā namayanti tejanaṃ
dāruṃ namayanti tacchakā attānaṃ damayanti subbatā. 
 
145 Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like); fletchers bend the arrow; carpenters bend a log of wood; good people fashion themselves. 
daṇḍavaggo dasamo.
