The numbers in parenthesis refer to the page numbers in the 1994 printed edition.
In this transcription of A Chanting Guide, Pali diacritical marks are represented using plain ASCII characters according to the Velthuis scheme, a convention widely used on the Internet by Pali students and scholars. Long vowels (those usually typeset with a bar above them) are doubled: aa ii uu.
For consonants, the diacritic mark precedes the letter it affects. Thus, the retroflex (cerebral) consonants (usually typeset with a dot underneath) are represented thus: .r .t .th .d .dh .n .s .l . The guttural nasal (n with a dot over) is "n . The pure nasal niggahita (m with a dot under) is .m . The palatal nasal is represented here as ñ.
