"sarvE vEdA: sarva-vEdhyA: saasthrA:

sarvE Yaj~nA: sarva ijyasaya KrishNa:"

 

Lord KrishNa is every thing ;He is of the form of

all the Four VedAs; He is the One to be known by all of

His SaasthrAs; He is of the form of all Yaj~nAs .

He is SarvAthmakan , Sarva VyApi. That is why He is

saluted as : VedAya nama: " by the 129th SrI VishNu

Sahasra Naamam (SVSN).He decalres in GitA : "Veda-vidEva

cha Aham " (I am indeed the knower of all the Four VedAs).

 

Thirumangai Mannan salutes the Lord of ThiruallikkENi

as Vedam and Vedatthin Suvaippayan :

 

Vedatthai Vedatthin Suvaippayanai --Aadhiyai,

Amudhai , YennaiALudaya Appanai" --Periya Thirumozhi:2.3.2

 

In His TirukkaNnapura Paasuram , AzhwAr salutes

the Lord as "Veda Mudhalvan " , the Supreme One

in the vedAs.

 

In the ThiruppullANi Paasuram , parakAla Naayaki

recognizes the Lord in Viraha Taapam as :

 

vedamum vELviyum ViNNum iru sudarum

AadhiyumAnan aruL tantavavA namakku

--Periya Thirumozhi: 9.4.9

 

Here Kaliyan acknowledges the grace of the Lord

and sees Him as Veda Moorthy , Yaj~na Moorthy ,

hte Vast AakAsam , the Sun and the Moon and

the Prime force behind the Universe.

 

In a moving Paasuram saluting Thiru AzhundhUr

PerumAL , SrI Gosakan , Thirumangai pays respect to

His Chathur-Veda -Svarropam:

 

ChandhOhA PouzhiyA TaitthiriyA

Saama VediyanE NedumAlE

anthO NinnadiyanRi MaRRaRiyEn

AzhunthUr mEl tisai ninRa AmmAnE

--Periya Thriumozhi: 7.7.2

 

Chathur-vEdAthmakthvam of the Lord is saluted here

through reference to Him as "ChandhOhA, PouzhiyA,

TaittirIyA , Saama vEdiyanE ". Kaliyan states

here that he does not know of anything except

the Lord's sacred feet.
