The word Buddha means :

  • A.Counsellor
  • B.Enlightened
  • C.Conqueror
  • D.Motivator

Answer: B

Buddha means Enlightened.

The word comes from the Sanskrit and Pali root budh, to wake up or to know, so Buddha is 'the awakened one' or 'the enlightened one'. It is a title, given to Siddhartha Gautama after he attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya, not a personal name.

'Conqueror' translates Jina, the title of Mahavira from which the word Jain comes, so it is the nearest trap. Counsellor and motivator are not meanings of the word.
