Verse I.20 Variations

त्याज्यत्वान् मोषधर्मत्वादभावात् सभयत्वतः
धर्मो द्विधार्यसंघश्च नात्यन्तं शरणं परम्
tyājyatvān moṣadharmatvādabhāvāt sabhayatvataḥ
dharmo dvidhāryasaṃghaśca nātyantaṃ śaraṇaṃ param
E. H. Johnston as input by the University of the West.[1]
།སྤང་ཕྱིར་བསླུ་བའི་ཆོས་ཅན་ཕྱིར།
།མེད་ཕྱིར་འཇིགས་དང་བཅས་པའི་ཕྱིར།
།ཆོས་རྣམས་གཉིས་དང་འཕགས་པའི་ཚོགས།
།གཏན་གྱི་སྐྱབས་མཆོག་མ་ཡིན་ནོ།
Dege, PHI, 110
Because of being abandoned, because of having a deceptive nature,
Because of being nonexistent, and because of being fearful,
The twofold dharma and the noble saṃgha
Are not the ultimate supreme refuge.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 349. [2]
Ni le Dharma sous ses deux aspects ni la sublime assemblée
Ne sont de suprêmes refuges promis à durer.
L’un parce qu’il faudra le laisser derrière soi,
parce qu’il est trompeur et qu’il n’existe pas ;
Et l’autre parce qu’on y trouve encore de la peur.
Charrier, Christian and Patrick Carré. Traité de la Continuité suprême du Grand Véhicule. Plazac: Éditions Padmakara, 2019.

Obermiller (1931) [3]
The Doctrine in its two forms and the Congregation of the Saints
Are not by themselves the highest, absolute Refuge.
Indeed, (the former) is (ultimately) given up, is illusionary and
of a negative character,
(And the latter) is not devoid of fear (and error).—
Takasaki (1966) [4]
As being abandoned, being of deceptive nature,
Being non-existence and being possessed of fear, [respectively],
The two kinds of Doctrine and the Community
Are ultimately not the highest Refuge.
Holmes (1985) [5]
Neither both aspects of dharma
nor the deeply-realised sangha
constitute a supreme refuge
that will last forever -
because they are to be abandoned,
one is an inconstant and
one nothing whatsoever
and because they have fear.
Fuchs (2000) [6]
[The Dharma] will be abandoned and is of an unsteady nature.
It is not [the ultimate quality], and [the Sangha] is still with fear.
Thus the two aspects of Dharma and the Assembly of noble ones
do not represent the supreme refuge, which is constant and stable.

Uttaratantra - The Ultimate Continuum, or Gyü Lama, is often used as a short title in the Tibetan tradition for the key source text of buddha-nature teachings called the Ratnagotravibhāga of Maitreya/Asaṅga, also known as the Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra. Skt. उत्तरतन्त्र Tib. རྒྱུད་བླ་མ་ Ch. 寶性論

These are the root verses of the Uttaratantra attributed to Maitreya by the Tibetan tradition.
