8.255

The Commentary states: First: nimitta and darśana mean grasping the real grasper and real grasped; these are called the two graspers. Second: grasping nāma and rūpa. Rūpa is the aggregate of form; nāma is the four aggregates; this means grasping the five aggregates. In the preceding mention of nimitta, it also generally includes grasping the unconditioned as an original archetype. Now here it only shows grasping the direct objective support, because one cannot grasp dharmas external to citta. Moreover, the reflected objective part (nimittabhāga) transformed from the unconditioned is also subsumed, because it is not separate from citta and so forth.
