7.265

贊曰:下果記。有九,此自體記。解法體相空但有假名,故名名相。或名與相二義俱空,故名名相。名即名假,相即受、法二種相假。

The Commentary says: Below is the prophecy of fruition. There are nine aspects; this is the prophecy of own-nature. Understanding that the nature and characteristics of dharmas are empty and possess only nominal designation, he is therefore named 'Nominal Characteristics' (Mingxiang / Nāmapratibimbaka). Or, because both meanings of name and characteristics are empty, he is named 'Mingxiang.' 'Name' is nominal designation; 'characteristics' refers to the two kinds of conceptual designations: received characteristics and dharmic characteristics.
