答。此時所覺已滅。雖無體。猶生能覺之心。何妨外境是無。能生識耶。然大乘五境。雖似有。而非心外。與凡小不同。

Answer: At this time, that which is perceived has already ceased. Although it lacks substantial entity, it still generates the mind capable of perceiving. What prevents external objects, though non-existent, from being able to generate consciousness? However, although the five objective spheres in the Mahāyāna appear to exist, they are not outside the mind, which is different from [the view of] ordinary people and the Hīnayāna.
