Bodhi Sanskrit Translation

What is the Bodhi Sanskrit Translation?
Bodhisattva means 'enlightenment being' but a more accurate Sanskrit translation might be 'bodhi-sakta', meaning a 'being who is orientated towards enlightenment'. This ideal is inspired by the life path of the Buddha before he became enlightened, as described in the Jatakas. The term bodhisattva refers to the Buddha before he achieved enlightenment, and also refers to a compassionate person whose life is dedicated to the salvation of others and to becoming a Buddha only once all beings have been liberated.
