Fifth, correlation in four alternatives: Formulating four alternatives correlating the dharmakāya with the enjoyment-body: 1. It is the dharmakāya and not the enjoyment-body: namely, the svābhāvika-dharmakāya. 2. It is exclusively the enjoyment-body and not the dharmakāya: namely, the other-enjoyment body. 3. It is both the enjoyment-body and the dharmakāya: namely, the dharmakāya of correct wisdom. 4. It is neither the enjoyment-body nor the dharmakāya: namely, the transformation-body. Correlating enjoyment with transformation also has four alternatives: 1. Exclusively enjoyment and not transformation: namely, the self-enjoyment body. 2. Exclusively transformation and not enjoyment: namely, the transformation-body manifested before the stages. 3. Both enjoyment and transformation: namely, the other-enjoyment body. 4. Neither enjoyment nor transformation: namely, the svābhāvika-dharmakāya. Within the transformation-body, correlating form and mind yields only three alternatives: first, exclusively mind and not form: namely, taking the wisdom capable of transformation as the body's essence. Asvabhāva's *Mahāyānasaṃgrahopanibandhana* states: 'Precisely that which is capable of transforming is named the transformation-body.' Second, exclusively form and not mind: as the Liang translation of the *Mahāyānasaṃgraha* states: 'The transformation-body takes only physical forms as its essence.' Third, both form and mind: as stated in the Buddhabhūmi-śāstra, the form and mind transformed upon the pṛṣṭhalabdha-jñāna constitute its essence.
