सत्त्वेष्वविद्या दिफलत्वगन्तः-

།སེམས་ཅན་རྣམས་ཀྱི་མ་རིག་སོགས་འབྲས།
།པགས་སྦུབས་ནང་ཆུད་ཆོས་ཁམས་དགེ་བ་ཡང་།
།དེ་བཞིན་དགེ་བ་དེ་དེ་ལ་བརྟེན་ནས།
།རིམ་གྱིས་ཐུབ་པའི་རྒྱལ་པོའི་དངོས་པོར་འགྱུར།
Dege, PHI, 119
Similarly, the splendid dharmadhātu in sentient beings, covered
By the sheath of the peel around the fruit of ignorance and so on,
In dependence on such and such virtues
Gradually assumes the state of the king of sages.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 397 [2]
Enfoncée sous la peau du fruit que constituent l’ignorance
et les autres [émotions] qui affectent les êtres,
Il y a aussi l’immensité vertueuse de l’Élément du réel.
De même, avec le concours de telle et telle vertu,
Cet Élément devient peu à peu la substance du roi des sages.

Other English translations[edit]

Obermiller (1931) [3]
In a like way the Sublime Absolute Essence
Is concealed under the coverings of the fruit
Of a living being’s ignorance and the like,
(But) on the foundation of this and that form of virtue,
It gradually assumes the character of the King of Sages.
Takasaki (1966) [4]
In the same way, the pure Absolute Essence, abiding in the living beings,
Covered by the sheath within the bark of the fruit of ignorance and the like,
[Grows] gradually by the help of this and that virtue
And obtains [finally] the state of the king of Sages.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
The fruit consisting of the ignorance and the other defects of beings
contains in the shroud of its peel the virtuous element of the dharma[kaya].
Likewise, through relying on virtue, this [element] also
will gradually turn into the substance of a King of Munis.

dharmadhātu - The fundamental expanse from which all phenomena emerge. Skt. धर्मधातु Tib. ཆོས་དབྱིངས་ Ch. 法界

avidyā - Literally "unknowing," it refers to a lack of knowledge or misunderstanding of the nature of reality. As such, it is considered to be the root cause of suffering and the basis for the arising of all other negative mental factors. Skt. अविद्या Tib. མ་རིག་པ་ Ch. 無明

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.
