(127) Vedah –The term Veda comes from the root vid: `to know'. Since

Veda gives knowledge, the Lord is termed as Vedah, in the sense, that

He is the One who gives the Knowledge of the Reality, because He is

the very Reality. In Mahabharata, Vyasa says: " Krishna alone is All-

vedas, All-sciences, All-techniques and All-dedicated Actions " . In the

Bhagavad Geeta (Ch. 10, St.2) Lord says: " Out of mere compassion for

them, I, abiding in their Self, destroy the darkness born of

ignorance, by the luminous lamp of wisdom " .
