གཞན་འགྱུར་མིན་བདག་མི་ཟད་ཆོས་ལྡན་ཕྱིར། །
འགྲོ་སྐྱབས་ཕྱི་མའི་མཐའ་མེད་མུར་ཐུག་ཕྱིར། །
དེ་ནི་རྟག་ཏུ་གཉིས་མེད་མི་རྟོག་ཕྱིར། །
འཇིག་མེད་ཆོས་ཀྱང་མ་བྱས་རང་བཞིན་ཕྱིར། །
འགྲོ་སྐྱབས་ཕྱི་མའི་མཐའ་མེད་མུར་ཐུག་ཕྱིར། །

[The tathāgata element] is of unchanging character because it is has the nature of being inexhaustible.
It is the refuge of the world because it has no end in time.
It is always nondual because it is nonconceptual.
It also has the nature of indestructibility because its nature is to be uncreated.
It is the refuge of the world because it has no end in time.
It is always nondual because it is nonconceptual.
It also has the nature of indestructibility because its nature is to be uncreated.
- [Le corps absolu] est immuable puisqu’il possède
- d’inépuisables qualités ;
- C’est un refuge pour les êtres puisqu’il persiste sans limite future ;
- Il est toujours non duel puisqu’il ne pense pas ;
- Et c’est aussi une réalité indestructible puisque sa nature est incréée.

Obermiller (1931) [4]
- (The Cosmical Body of the Buddha is eternal),
- Being the unalterable Ultimate Essence of Existence possessed of imperishable properties,
- The refuge of living beings, infinite and extending beyond all limits,
- Always unique and free from (dialectical) thought-construction,
- Of indestructible nature, and not produced (by causes).
Takasaki (1966) [5]
- This [Essence of the Buddha] is of unalterable nature
- Because it is endowed with inexhaustible properties,
- It is the refuge of the world
- Because it has no limit in the future;
- It is always non-dual
- Because it is indiscriminative,
- Also it is of undestructible nature
- Because its own nature is not created [by conditions].
Fuchs (2000) [6]
- [The dharmakaya] does not change into something else, since it has inexhaustible properties.
- It is the refuge of beings, since [it protects them] without any limit of time, until the final end.
- It is always free from duality, since it is foreign to all ideation.
- It is also an indestructible state, since its nature is uncreated.

- Takasaki translates "because it is endowed with inexhaustible properties" (Skt. akṣyadharmayogataḥ, DP mi zad chos ldan phyir), which is also how Tibetan commentaries usually interpret this phrase. However, the parallel construction of lines a, c, and d in the quote from the [Anūnatvāpūrṇatvanirdeśa]sūtra in the text below that teaches the same meaning as I.79 (as well as line d in the additional verse in DP) shows that dharma is to be understood as "nature" here too. Moreover, it makes more sense to say that the tathāgata element is permanent and unchanging because it has the nature of being inexhaustible rather than because its qualities are inexhaustible (which is also true but seems not to be the point here).
