Verse II.67 Variations
नित्यमशरणानां च शरणाभ्युपपत्तितः
nityamaśaraṇānāṃ ca śaraṇābhyupapattitaḥ
།ཐུབ་པ་གདོད་ནས་རབ་ཞིའི་ཕྱིར།
།རྟག་པ་སྐྱབས་མེད་རྣམས་ཀྱི་ནི།
།སྐྱབས་ལ་སོགས་པར་འཐད་ཕྱིར་རོ།
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.
- 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.
