Answer: If it cognizes the unconditioned, the cittaviprayuktasamskāras, and the nominal portion of caittas, none of these perfume the seeds of the basic substance. The real ones do perfume them. Because when cognizing nominal dharmas, they are merely solitary shadow objects; thus, it also does not perfume the seeds of the nimittabhāga. The seeds of the cognitive darśanabhāga are indeed perfumed. If the seventh consciousness cognizes the darśanabhāga of the eighth consciousness to perfume seeds, it only perfumes two seeds: darśana and the basic substance; it definitely does not perfume seeds of the nimittabhāga. Its intermediate nimittabhāga merely arises jointly from both ends and still partakes of two moral natures: the half arising from the basic substance is non-obscured (anivṛta), and the half born from the cognitive darśanabhāga is obscured (nivṛta).
