The five false imaginations are enumerated in The Extensive Exegesis of the Transcendent Perfection of Discriminative Awareness in One Hundred Thousand Lines, Twenty-five Thousand Lines, and Eighteen Thousand Lines (Śatasahāsrikāpañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-ṣṭādaśasāhasrikāprajnāpāramitābṛhaṭṭīkā, KPD 55: 1217). Therein, the five false imaginations which may confront reversible bodhisattvas are (1) wondering whether they are engaged in the emptiness of the transcendent perfection of wisdom and the transcendent perfection of wisdom ({ci shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa'i stong pa nyid/ shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa la spyod dam}), (2) wondering whether they are exclusively engaged in something other than the transcendent perfection of wisdom ({ci shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa las 'ba' zhig spyod dam}), (3) wondering whether they are engaged in the transcendent perfection of wisdom ({'on te shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa la spyod dam}), (4) wondering whether they are engaged in emptiness ({'on te stong pa nyid spyod dam}), or (5) wondering whether they are engaged in something other than emptiness ({'on te stong pa nyid las gzhan pa zhig spyod dam}).
