Bhagavan

Bhagavat [Skt.] (Tib. chomdendé; bcom ldan ‘das) - an epithet of the Buddha. It is usually explained by Tibetan scholars according to its literal meaning in Tibetan as "the transcendent (dé) one who has vanquished (chom) the four maras and possesses (den) the six fortunes." The Sanskrit word carries the sense of possessing fortune. The term has been translated into English as lord, or, following the Tibetan, as "transcendent and accomplished conqueror."
