Bhk. Thanissaro (Wings to Awakening, pp 140): "Now what, monks, is the faculty of conviction? There is the case where a monk, a noble disciple, has conviction, is convinced of the Tathāgata's Awakening: 'Indeed, the Blessed One is worthy and rightly self-awakened, consummate in knowledge and conduct, well-gone, an expert with regard to the world, unexcelled as a trainer for those people fit to be tamed, the Teacher of divine and human beings, awakened, blessed.'"
Hare (AN3.5.1.2) pp. 2: "Herein, monks, the Ariyan disciple has faith and believes in the enlightenment of the Tathāgata: Of a truth he is the Exalted One, arahant, fully enlightened, abounding in wisdom and right, the well-gone, the world-knowler, the incomparable tamer of tamable men, the techer of devas and men, the Buddha, the Exalted One."
MO: Here, friends, a beggar has faith, believing in the awakening of the Tathāgata:Thus is the Bhagava, Arahant, Consummately-Self-Awakened, perfected in vision and conduct, The Wellcome One, World-Knower, unsurpassable Dhamma-coach for man, teacher of gods and men, A Buddha, The Lucky Man.
