答。從種生者名實。依他立者名假。心法唯是實有。心所之中。遍行別境。唯是實有。其餘諸法。或假或實。真如無為。雖非自從種起。亦名為實。不依他故。或諸法名義俱假。唯真如無為一種。名假體實。離言詮故。

Answer: That which is born from seeds is called real; that which is established based on others is called nominal. Mental dharmas are exclusively real existents. Among mental factors, the omnipresent and the specific-object [factors] are exclusively real existents; the remaining phenomena are either nominal or real. Although tathatā as the unconditioned does not itself arise from seeds, it is also called real, because it does not depend on others. Alternatively, the names and meanings of all phenomena are both nominal, and only the single unconditioned tathatā is nominal in name but real in substance, because it transcends verbal designation.
