बिम्बं यथा रत्नमयं जिनस्य

།ཇི་ལྟར་རིན་ཆེན་ལས་བྱས་རྒྱལ་བའི་གཟུགས།
།གོས་ཧྲུལ་དྲི་ངན་གྱིས་ནི་གཏུམས་གྱུར་པ།
།ལམ་གནས་ལྷ་ཡིས་མཐོང་ནས་གྲོལ་བྱའི་ཕྱིར།
།ལམ་གནས་དོན་དེ་དེ་ལ་སྨྲ་བ་ལྟར།
Dege, PHI, 119
Suppose an image of the victor made of a precious substance
And wrapped in a filthy foul-smelling cloth
Were left on the road, and a deity, upon seeing it,
Speaks about this matter to those traveling by in order to set it free.
When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 398 [2]
Imaginez une statue du bouddha en matières précieuses
Enveloppée dans de puantes guenilles.
Un dieu qui l’a vue abandonnée sur la route
En avertit les passants pour qu’ils la libèrent.

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.
