The nine supreme attributes of the Lord Buddha and eighteen special qualities of the Buddha.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE THREE-FOLD KNOWLEDGE AND ENLIGHTENMENT BY BUDDHA GOTAMA
In seeking the truth and to find a way to end all pain and suffering in the world, the Bodhisatta or Buddha-to-be sat under a Bodhi tree and made a strong determination to find a way to end all sorrow. When the Buddha-to-be went into deep meditation, He was able to see things as they truly were and found the cause of all sorrows :

During the First Watch of the Night, Buddha attained the vission of all past lives Pubbe Nivasanussati Nana
During the first watch of the night, He developed the mind of that supernormal knowledge which enabled Him to remember His past lives.

In the Middle Watch of the Night, Buddha attained Cutupapata Nana
In the middle watch of the night, He gained clairvoyance, the knowledge to understand the death and rebirth of living beings. He saw beings born, passing away in accordance with the indestuctible laws of Kamma, the laws of cause of effect, how deeds create and shape the conditions and circumstances of each individual life.

In the Last Watch of the Night Buddha attained Asavakkhaya Nana
In the last watch of the night, He developed the supernormal knowledge with regard to destruction of all mental defilements and comprehending everything as they truly are, attained Perfect Enlightenment – Samma Sambodhi.
He applied himself to rooting out this suffering once and for all. He had understood the laws of dependent arising and how the lives of beings were driven by the powerful force of kamma and so he turned his attention to seeking the means of liberation. On His own meditative insight he saw disappointing nature/no true happiness/misery, cause of this misery, the cessation of this disappointing nature and finally the path which led to ceassation.
As the morning star appeared in the eastern sky, the Buddha-to-be became a Buddha, a Fully-Enlightened One and was named Buddha Gotama.
