[105] **"Whom do you call a great man?"** — A great man (mahāpurisa): a foremost man, a supreme man, a distinguished man, a preeminent man, a highest man, a most excellent man. Whom do you call, whom do you speak of, whom do you consider, whom do you declare, whom do you see, whom do you designate thus? Hence: "Whom do you call a great man?"
