(Sanskrit; Pāli, a sage). General term in Indian religion for a holy man or sage. The term occurs mainly in the older verse portions of the Pāli Canon (such as the Sutta Nipāta) as an epithet of Buddhas and Pratyekabuddhas, but rarely of Arhats. The Buddha is referred to as Śākyamuni (Pāli, Sākyamuni), or the ‘sage of the Śākyas’. In the Mahāyāna, with its expanded pantheon of Buddhas, the name Śākyamuni becomes the principal designation for the historical Buddha Siddhartha Gautama (Pāli, Siddhatha Gotama).
