awe, emotion, excitement (something like

truth (for the letter & the spirit) of Buddha's teaching
M 1.37 ; A V.329 sq., 333, 349. 352 ; veda here interpreted
as " somanassar) " at MA 1.173. — See also cpd.
°jata. — 2. (cp. vedeti & vijja) (higher) knowledge (as
" Buddhist " antithesis to the authority of the " Veda "),
that which Bdhgh at
MA I.I 73 defines with " fiana," and illustrates with
insight, revelation, wsdom :
vedagia of Sn 1059 ; or refers to at DA 1.139 with def°
" vidanti etena ti vedo." Thus at Sn 529 & 792 ( = veda
vuccanti catusu maggesu nanar) paniia Nd' 93), cp. SnA
403. — As adj. veda Ep. of the Buddha " the knower "
or the possessor of revelation, at M 1.386. See also
vedagu. — 3. the Veda(s), the brahmanic canon of
authorized religious teaching (revelation) & practice
otherwise given as " gantha " i. e. " text " at MA 1.173,
iS: illustrated with " tinnai) vedanar) paragu." The
latter formula is frequent in stock phrase describing the
accomplishments of a Brahmin, e. g. at D 1.88 ; M 11. 133 ;
Sn 1019 ; A 1. 163 ; DhA 111.361. In the older texts only
the 3 Vedas (irubheda = Rg yaju" ; & saraa°) are referred
to, whereas later (in the Commentaries) we find the 4
mentioned (athabbana added), e. g. the three at S iv.i 18 ;
1. 168; 11.47; III-537; Miln 10; Vism 384; the /owe
J
at DA 1.247"; Miln 178. — Unspecified (sg.): SnA 462.
As adj veda " knowing the Vedas " SnA 463
(ti"), cp.
tevijja. — The Vedas in this connection are not often
mentioned, they are almost identical with the Mantras
(see manta) and are often (in Corp..) mentioned either
jointly with manta or promiscuously, e. g. Pv 11.6^'
(the Vedas with the 6 angas, i. e. vedangas, called
manta); SnA 293 (manta-paragu4- veda-paragu), 322,
448.
-antagu " one who has reached the end of knowledge,"
i. e. one who has obtained perfection in wisdom Vin
1.3; Sn 463. -gH one who has attained to highest
knowledge (said of the Buddha). Thus different from
" tinnar) vedanarj paragii," which is brahmanic. The
expl° of vedagu is " catusu maggesu iianar) " Nd^ 612,

of "soul" (lit. attainer of wisdom) at Miln 54 & 71.
