  Comments:
* Add pos [n-suf] – commonly attached as a title (as per many other entries)
* [fld=Buddh]
Most idiomatic translation is really “(Buddhist) Saint” (high holy mortal – occupy similar religious role), and this is a common comparison, but that’s probably too loose and loaded, so I’ve refrained from suggesting it in the edit.
