Answer: As for 'what is revealed', in this true principle, in accordance with the conditions of practice and cultivation, there is that which can be revealed; converting principle into practice, it is revealed through condition-illumining understanding and the severing of delusion—hence it is called 'what is revealed'. As for 'what is indicated', the principle-essence of tathatā is equal and of one flavor, beyond speech and free from marks. However, principle does not reveal itself; it is indicated by relying upon phenomena—hence it is called 'what is indicated'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.14) - [Next: 2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.16) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843~en-mt.2.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1843.2.15) · Pramāṇa
