Source: Google Books: The Treasury of Knowledge: Book six, parts one and two (philosophy)Nimittābhāsapariṇāma (निमित्ताभासपरिणाम) or Nimittābhāsapariṇāmavikalpa refers to “changeable imaginations that mirror the variations of the six modes of (engaged) consciousness”, and represents a further explanation of the ten aspects of distracting false imagination (daśa-vikṣepa-vikalpa), according to Khewang Yeshe Gyatso, Exegetical Memorandum chapter 5 (Cf. Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkārakārikā, chapter 11). These [e.g., Nimittābhāsapariṇāma] are related to the imaginary nature (parikalpita). These ten are enumerated as aspects of false imagination which may be imputed in all sorts of contexts, and it is on this basis that the process of reification actually comes to partake of the imaginary nature.
