Note 6 — Glory to Him, the Blessed Saint, the All-Enlightened one.
F. L. (Frank Lee) Woodward translation
Tathāgatā. The epithet of the Buddha by which He usually describes Himself (cf. N.T. "He who was for to come"). See Sir (now Lord) Robert Chalmer's valuable pamphlet for the meaning of this much discussed epithet (J.R.A.S., Jan. 1898). Nippapañcā Tathāgatā, lit, "is free from the delays of human failings".
