།།རང་དོན་གཞན་དོན་དོན་དམ་སྐུ་དང་ནི།
།དེ་ལ་བརྟེན་པ་ཀུན་རྫོབ་སྐུ་ཉིད་དེ།
།བྲལ་དང་རྣམ་པར་སྨིན་པའི་འབྲས་བུ་ནི།
།ཡོན་ཏན་དབྱེ་བ་དྲུག་ཅུ་བཞི་འདི་དག

Dege, PHI, 130

One’s own welfare and the welfare of others consist of the ultimate kāya
And the seeming kāya that is based on it, respectively.
Due to representing the states of freedom and maturation, respectively,
They represent the fruition, which is classified as sixty-four qualities.

When the Clouds Part, Brunnhölzl, 429 ^[3]

Le bien propre et le bien d’autrui sont le corps absolu

Et les corps relatifs qui en dépendent.

Ils présentent soixante-quatre qualités

Qui sont des fruits de séparation et de maturation.

As also explicitly stated in RGVV in its introductory remarks on II.18ff, usually, the ultimate kāya and the fulfillment of one’s own welfare are equated with the dharmakāya, while the welfare of others and the conventional kāyas of seeming reality are equated with the two rūpakāyas. However, VT (fol. 15r1) glosses "one’s own welfare" as "the sambhogakāya, which is the ultimate kāya." "The welfare of others" is "the nirmāṇakāya, which is the seeming kāya based on the sambhoga[kāya]."VT further comments: "The fruition that is the freedom from the afflictions consists of the powers and so on. The maturational fruition consists of the [thirty-two] marks of a great being, which is the fruition that is in common [with others, such as cakravartins]."
