"The meaning of identity" explains "revealing" above. "Because the dharmakāya of the śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and Buddhas is equal" explains the meaning of identity. That which is called "identity" means that persons of the three vehicles are identical in the equality of the dharmakāya, and hence it is called "identity." Question: Why is the meaning of identity explained? Answer: Although previously the unsurpassable was explained as belonging exclusively to the Buddha and not possessed by other persons, here it is therefore explained that persons of the three vehicles have a single dharmakāya. Question: Why is "revealing" explained as the meaning of identity? Answer: Revealing their meaning of identically possessing the dharmakāya—hence "revealing" is explained as identity.
