大方廣佛華嚴經疏 54.14

54.14

今初。言世尊者，梵云薄伽梵，包含六義，如《佛地論》。一自在義，永不繫屬諸煩惱故；二熾盛義，猛焰智光所燒煉故；三端嚴義，三十二相所莊嚴故；四名稱義，一切殊勝功德圓滿，無不知故；五吉祥義，一切世間親近供養，咸稱讚故；六尊貴義，具一切功德，常起方便利益世間，安樂一切無懈廢故。今舉後該初，亦是標人取法。具無盡德，故曰世尊。

First is the first [part]. The term 'Bhagavat' (World-Honoured One) is in Sanskrit *bhagavat*; it encompasses six meanings, as stated in the *Buddhagūmi-śāstra* (*Fodi lun*). First is the meaning of sovereign mastery, because he is never bound to any afflictions. Second is the meaning of blazing glory, because he is smelted and purified by the fiery light of wisdom. Third is the meaning of dignified elegance, because he is adorned with the thirty-two marks. Fourth is the meaning of renown, because all supreme merits and virtues are perfected [in him] and there is no one who does not know it. Fifth is the meaning of auspiciousness, because all the world draws near to make offerings to him and all praise him. Sixth is the meaning of honored veneration, because he is endowed with all virtues and constantly initiates skillful means to benefit the world and bring peace and joy to all without remiss or abandonment. Here, by presenting the last, it encompasses the first; it also designates the person to indicate the teaching. Endowed with inexhaustible virtues, he is therefore called the Bhagavat.
