deliverance (度). Liberation achieved by crossing over to that shore of Nirvāṇa from this shore of saṁsāra. Those who have achieved deliverance are Arhats, Pratyekabuddhas, and Buddhas.
The first two have achieved the Liberation fruit and the Bodhi fruit for themselves.
Buddhas have achieved not only the Liberation fruit for themselves but also the great Bodhi fruit of omniscience, for delivering Sentient beings.
