E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.^[2]

།འདུས་མ་བྱས་པའི་རང་བཞིན་གྱི།
།ཐུབ་པ་གདོད་ནས་རབ་ཞིའི་ཕྱིར།
།རྟག་པ་སྐྱབས་མེད་རྣམས་ཀྱི་ནི།
།སྐྱབས་ལ་སོགས་པར་འཐད་ཕྱིར་རོ།

Dege, PHI, 129

By virtue of the sage, whose nature
Is unconditioned, being primordially at peace,
And by virtue of being tenable as the refuge and so on
Of those without refuge, [the Buddha] is permanent.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 427 ^[3]

Parce que, inconditionné par nature,

Le sage est apaisé dès l’origine

Et parce qu’il est logique qu’il soit le refuge

De ceux qui n’ont pas de refuge permanent.

As will be seen in the text below, in verses II.63–68, two lines each correspond to the ten reasons in II.62 for buddhahood’s being permanent, with "protector of the world"in II.62d (VT fol. 14v6: lokanāthatvāt) being considered the tenth reason.
I follow MB °pādapraṇetuś ca against J pādaprakāśāc ca.
The phrase in "[ ]" is found in C.
