Question: If the shared transformation by multiple persons is called 'shared', suppose there is a tree that twenty people transform together, so that there are twenty layers of nimittabhāga. If one person suddenly chops down this tree, his own nimittabhāga ceases to exist, which can be called vijñaptimātra; but the nimittabhāga of the remaining nineteen people also ceases to exist, which should not be vijñaptimātra, since they did not chop it down themselves.
