Ultimately, however, the single refuge
Of the world is buddhahood
Because the sage possesses the body of the dharma
And because it is the consummation of the assembly.

Au sens le plus sacré, les êtres
N’ont qu’un seul refuge : le Bouddha, Car le Sage a pour corps le Dharma Et qu’il est le but ultime de la Communauté.

Obermiller (1931) [9]
- In the absolute sense, the refuge
- Of all living beings is only the Buddha.
- Indeed, the Lord is possessed of the Cosmical Body,
- And the multitudes of Saints, too, have their issue in the latter.
Takasaki (1966) [10]
- From the ultimate standpoint,
- Buddhahood is the sole Refuge of the world,
- Because the Sage has the body of the Doctrine,
- And because in that the Community sets the ultimate goal.
Holmes (1985) [11]
- Ultimately, only the buddha constitutes a refuge for beings
- because that great victor is the embodiment of dharma
- which is the ultimate attainment of the sangha.
Holmes (1999) [12]
- Ultimately, only buddha constitutes a refuge for beings,
- because the great victor is the embodiment of dharma,
- which is the ultimate attainment of the saṃgha.
Fuchs (2000) [13]
- In a true sense only the Buddha is beings' refuge,
- since the Great Sage embodies the dharmakaya,
- and the Assembly also reaches its ultimate goal
- when these [qualities of dharmakaya are attained].

- I follow the interlinear gloss in SM, which has ekaṃ tu in I.21a against J ekatra.
- Referring to DP bden pa gnyis kyi mtshan nyid and a similar phrase above (J11.14) on I.11 ("the dharma free from attachment, which is characterized by the two realities of purification"), Takasaki and Schmithausen insert °lakṣaṇa° between °dvaya° and °virāga°.
- In other words, the dharma is nothing but the "body"of the Buddha in that it embodies everything that the Buddha realized and taught. This accords with one of the interpretations of what dharmakāya means.
- Instead of "ultimately,"DP read "ultimate refuge" (don dam pa’i skyabs) after "everlasting refuge"in the text below.
- J aparāntakoṭisama (lit. "equal to the point that is the later end").
- Certain parts of this and the immediately preceding paragraphs are taken more or less literally from a passage in this sūtra (D45.48, fols. 269a.4–270a.3), with these two paragraphs being like a commentary on that passage.
