現在有中要具四義，方是自相有法。謂諸假法，略有三種：一、聚集假，如瓶盆等；二、相續假，於三世立一有情于今不斷我即是彼；三、分位假，謂不相應等，今非此三故自相有。

In present existence, four meanings must be complete before it is a dharma existent with specific characteristics. Nominal dharmas are briefly of three kinds: first, nominal designations of aggregation, such as vases, basins, and the like; second, nominal designations of continuity, where across the three periods of time a single sentient being is established up to now without interruption, thinking 'I am precisely that'; third, nominal designations of states (*avasthā*), referring to the non-associated formations and the like. Now, since it is not these three, it is existent with specific characteristics.
