The Adi Purana states, "Gautama is said to be the one who possesses the excellent speech, and that excellent speech can only be the divine sound of the omniscient Tirthankara. You know it or study it, therefore you are considered Gautama. This name is meaningful for you." (Excellent cow, Gautama, he studies that speech, Gautama, 'tad adhite veda va' - this is the suffix 'ana'.) ||52||
Or, understand it this way: Lord Vardhaman Swami, the 16th Tirthankara, descended from the highest heaven, therefore he is called Gautama. You read and know the divine sound spoken by this Gautama, i.e., Vardhaman Swami, therefore people call you Gautama. (Gautama came from there, Gautama, 'tat agata' - this is the suffix 'ana', spoken by Gautama, therefore Gautama, he studies Gautama's speech, therefore Gautama.) ||53||
You have attained the glory in the form of worship by Indra, therefore you are called Indra-bhuthi. You have also attained the ornament of the neck in the form of right knowledge, therefore you are like the son of the omniscient Lord Vardhaman Swami. ||54||
O Dev, you have known the entire world through your four pure knowledges, and you have attained the peak of wisdom, therefore wise people call you Buddha. ||55||
O Dev, it is very difficult to attain the excellent light of omniscience, which is beyond the darkness of ignorance, without seeing it. You are the unique lamp of light, because you are the light of that light. ||56||
O Swami, your omniscience, in the form of a lamp, which is taken by the Shruta Devata in the form of a woman, is illuminating the house of the world and is shining brightly. ||57||
The group of your divine words destroys the darkness of falsehood in people, and illuminates the right path like a group of rays of the sun. ||58||
O Dev, your wisdom is the highest in the world, it is proficient in all knowledge, and it is capable of being a ship in the ocean of the twelve angas - i.e., it serves the purpose of a ship. ||59||
O Dev, you have brought down the Shruta-knowledge, in the form of the Ganga river, from the very high Vardhaman Swami, in the form of the Himalayas. This river is itself pure and washes away all the dirt of sins. ||60||
O Dev, there is only one omniscience in the Kevali Bhagwan, and you have two types of knowledge, in the form of direct and indirect, therefore you are Shruta-Kevali.
