In the Sanat sujatiya (Fourth Chapter in Shankaracharya's Bhashya edition)
here is a verse:
महाभारतम्-05-उद्योगपर्व-046
https://sa.wikisource.org/s/2ab


सदा सदासत्कृतः स्यान्न मृत्युरमृतं कुतः |
सत्यानृते सत्यसमानबन्धने; सतश्च योनिरसतश्चैक एव ॥१९॥
योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम् ॥१९॥

Bhashya Shankaracharya comments: Both the relatively e real and
unreal  have for their bases the supreme reality. That is, the vyavaharika
and the pratibhasika reality have their support in the substratum that is
the Paramarthika Reality.
The Bhashya:

 Yogins realize that Supreme reality.

We are reminded of the the Taittiriya Upanishad 2.6.1 statement: सत्यं
चानृतं च सत्यमभवत् । the Supreme Reality, Paramarthika Satya, Bramhan,
itself became both the the relatively real (vyavaharika satya) and the
seemingly real (pratibhasika satya).
