(SN 1:8) Like the similar sutta SN 1:7, this sutta offers evidence in support of the translation, "awakened" for the Pali term, Buddha. The verses draw a direct connection between two words derived from the same root: the adjective sambuddha, a variant of buddha, and the verb pṅbujjhati, which in context clearly means to awaken from sleep. Standing to one side, a devatṅ addressed the Blessed One with a verse: "Those for whom phenomena are thoroughly confused, who may be led by the teachings of others: Asleep are they; they havenât awakened. Itâs time for them to awaken." The Buddha: "Those for whom phenomena are not confused, may not be led by the teachings of others. Awakened through right knowing, they go among the discordant harmoniously."1 Note 1. See note 1 under SN 1:7. See also: MN 41; MN 61; MN 97; AN 6:55; AN 6:63 - --> - - - -
