### [9.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1739.9.41)

佛者，覺也。覺有二義：一始覺、二本覺。此佛者，覺無始終，三世障盡，名之為佛。不如權教有出世涅槃，有始終故。又佛者，《大智度論》中有四義：一名有德，謂婆伽名德，婆名有故。二名巧分別，婆伽名分別，婆名巧故。三名有聲，婆伽名聲，婆名有故。四名能破婬怒癡，婆伽名破，婆名婬怒癡故。又《佛地論》說有六義，頌云「自在熾盛及端嚴，名稱吉祥與尊貴，具斯六種義差別，是故總號為薄加。」

> "Buddha" means awakened. Awakening has two meanings: first, initial awakening; second, inherent awakening. This Buddha is an awakening without beginning or end, with the obstacles of the three times exhausted; hence he is named "Buddha." He is not like \[the Buddha in\] the provisional teachings who has an appearance in the world and nirvāṇa, and has a beginning and an end. Furthermore, for "Buddha" there are four meanings in the \*Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa\*: first, having virtue, for \*bhaga\* means virtue, and \*va\* means having; second, skilled discrimination, for \*bhaga\* means discrimination, and \*va\* means skilled; third, having fame, for \*bhaga\* means fame, and \*va\* means having; fourth, able to destroy lust, anger, and delusion, for \*bhaga\* means destruction, and \*va\* means lust, anger, and delusion. Furthermore, the \*Buddhabhūmi-śāstra\* says there are six meanings, with the verse stating: "Sovereign, blazing, and dignified, / Renowned, auspicious, and noble; / Possessing these six distinctions of meaning, / Therefore he is collectively titled Bhagavat."
