9.136

Bhagavān (婆伽婆; old translations say: "One possessing great merit; the designation of the supreme sage"; below it is said "Baojiafan (薄伽梵, Bhagavat)": baojia (薄伽) is translated here as "virtue/merit", and fan (梵) here means "accomplishment"; one whose multitude of virtues is fully perfected is called Baojiafan; furthermore, this single name gathers all virtues collectively, whereas other names do not; hence, at the beginning of all sūtras this name is placed).
