2.16

'Bhagavān' is an appellation of the World-Honoured One. His fetters are completely exhausted, and none can surpass him, so he is called 'Honoured'. The devas of the three realms all come to look up to him as their master, and the ghosts and spirits of the eight classes also revere him, so he is called 'World-Honoured'. Being able to subdue Māra, he is again 'Honoured'. Appellations such as these are immeasurable, hence he is titled 'World-Honoured'.
