anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi
This is a Sanskrit term referring to the perfect and universal enlightenment of a Buddha. It is variously translated as meaning “Utmost, Right and Perfect Enlightenment, ” “Supreme, Orthodox, and Equal Awakening,” or the like. The commentarial traditions indicate that the term includes the levels of enlightenment of the Bodhisattva and Arhat within that of the Buddha.
Commentary
This Dharma is level and equal,
with no high or low.
Therefore, it is called
anuttara-samyak-saṃbodhi.
