PTS dictionary gives Bhagavant:
fortunate, illustrious, sublime, as Ep. and title "Lord."
Usual trs. Blessed One, Exalted One.
The translation bhagavant as Blessed One cannot be understood.
Blessed is associated with God; see the definition of blessed in the Oxford Dictionaries.
I shall be grateful, if someone could clarify this.
