An honorific which should be more correctly transliterated from the Sanskrit as ®r…ƒ. It is often prefixed to the names of deities and holy persons to indicate “holiness.” It literally means “blessed” or “beatific.” In the present time it is often used in India as a form of address, almost equivalent to “Mr.”; however, it is still applied in its true sense to a saint.
