10.9

Answer: [This is spoken] from the perspective of the apparent phenomena of the dependent nature (paratantra). These are produced by the true mind following perfuming; because they lack self-substance, they are not different from tathatā. Therefore the treatise states: 'Because all phenomena are identical with the real nature.' Here, however, [the first mirror] is discussed in terms of the real nature imagined by ubiquitous conceptualisation (parikalpita), and therefore there is nothing that can be manifested.
