答。古釋云。有唯轉變。非變現者。轉變之言。通於種現。現能熏種。種能生種。種生現行。皆名轉變。變現之言。唯現心等。能起見相。名之為變。不通於種相分色等。

Answer: An ancient commentary explains: There is that which is only evolving transformation, not manifesting transformation. The term 'evolving transformation' applies generally to seeds and actual manifestations: actual manifestations being able to perfume seeds, seeds being able to produce seeds, and seeds producing actual manifestations are all called evolving transformation. The term 'manifesting transformation' applies only to the present mind and so forth being able to give rise to darśana and nimitta, which is called transformation; it does not apply to seeds, nimittabhāga form, and so on.
