1.237

Regarding "the latter one also extends to what is real and is also an object of the eighth consciousness": this means that the matter produced from meditative absorption has both the real and the provisional. If it is transformed by ordinary persons and the two vehicles, it merely arises from meditative absorption and is therefore provisionally existent. If it is transformed by the meditative absorption and wisdom of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, it has real function and is therefore wholly real. If it is real, the root consciousness takes it as an object; therefore, it extends to both the provisional and the real, and the consciousness also takes it as an object, etc.
