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.
