It's the Evans-Wentz translation. I wasn't able to find the word in the
index, but Wikipedia has
Triunes that are metonymic of the ananda-chakra (Tib. gankyil; the
trishula; triratna; the heavenly, earthly and hellish realms; three eyes,
third eye; trimurti; trikaya; the directionality of left, middle, right
and forward, stationary, backwards; past, present, future; polarities and
their synthesis; upperworld or akash, middleworld or dharti and underworld
or patal, etc. -
which is in the article on Kila, Tibetan phurba or three-sided knife - so
triunes are important. There's an intro section on Tibetan cosmography in
the Evans-Wentz, which mentions various cosmological layers/worlds (which
are common in Buddhism), but I didn't see the term itself. Now the plot
thickens; I just downloaded the E-W translation as a pdf, and the word
isn't found there. It sounds cognate with dharma of course, but that
really gets us nowhere. I'd go with "middle-world" - and now I have to
locate the Sanskrit interjection "aho" which was a big deal in the 2nd
Council schisms in Buddhism.
We can't get much more obscure than this! :-)

Hi Alan,
Thank you! Blimey, errr, it has CG Jung essay in it. Galaxy imprint of OUP ( I
think) fourth printing 1967. Cover design by Laurence Ratzkin (sic?)
If that offers any guidance to the version?

Hi all,
Here's a short track that I worked on yesterday. The meaning of the word
dharti is hard to find online, I took it from the Tibetan Book of the Dead,
but the page escapes me now! As these things do, it seemed very appropriate
at the time.
