The Commentary states: If the eighth were to cognize real unconditioned dharmas, unconditioned dharmas lack functional efficacy, and this [consciousness] has not yet realized them; if they are simulated unconditioned dharmas, they are not real unconditioned dharmas, and therefore it does not transform them. The treatise says 'etc.,' and because there is the word 'etc.' among unconditioned dharmas, it also explains nominal dharmas, the citta-viprayukta-saṃskāras; that is, the previous answer concerned mind and mental factors, and now explaining unconditioned dharmas and citta-viprayukta-saṃskāras is also without fault. This explanation is the principal one; thus, in the previous question, why can this consciousness not transform simulated mind, mental factors, etc.? Since it said 'etc.,' it encompasses nominal dharmas and unconditioned dharmas.
