Obermiller (1931) [4]
Similar is that sun which is the Buddha
With its rays一the Highest of Doctrines;
Free from a searching thought, they are directed
Upon the converts resembling lotus flowers.
Takasaki (1966) [5]
Similarly, the sun that is the Buddha,
With the rays of the Highest Doctrine,
Appears with no thought-construction,
Upon the converts resembling lotus flowers.

shedding its rays of the sacred Dharma
on the lotus-like beings to be trained
without harboring any thought or idea.

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.
