''"[[Confusion arising from the presence of a basis]]"'' means being deluded while possessing [[sugata essence]], which is the ground of both samsara and nirvana.  An example for this is [[coemergent ignorance]], like a person with blurred eyesight meeting together with [[conceptual ignorance]], like the time of dusk, engaging in the [[cognition]] which apprehends, due to the cause and conditions of these two kinds of ignorance, the [[five sense objects]] of form, sound, and so forth, for instance, a mottled rope being seen as a snake, because of the existence of snakes in a certain area. [[JOKYAB]]

''[[Confusion arising from no presence]]'', the temporary confusion, is like an eye with the blurred vision of [[coemergent ignorance]] seeing an apparition of hair in the sky, the [[conceptual ignorance]]. [[JOKYAB]]
 
''[[Confusion arising from indivisibility]]'' of the two [above] is like the essence of camphor having two abilities -- just as confusion and liberation both take place from the ground -- because it can be a medicine for the disease of heat and a poison for the disease of wind, and thus both [[samsara and nirvana]] appear. [[JOKYAB]]
