Never mind the interpolations.

This "works":

Itipiso Bhagava (He is indeed the Exalted One)
Araham (far from defilements)
Samma Sambuddho (perfectly enlightened by Himself)

But accuracy and orthodoxy after 2750 years are important, my revered friends.
Buddha "vachana" brings serenity peace and above all progress.
