Vedic Reference

English

 Vidatha is a word of obscure sense,  confined mainly to the
Rigveda. According to Roth, ^1 the sense is primarily ‘order, ’
then the concrete body which gives orders,  then ‘assembly’ for
secular^2 or religious ends, ^3 or for war.^4 Oldenberg^5 once
thought that the main idea is ‘ordinance’ (from vi-dhā, 
‘dispose, ’ ‘ordain’),  and thence ‘sacrifice.’ Ludwig^6 thinks
that the root idea is an ‘assembly, ’ especially of the Maghavans
and the Brahmins. Geldner^7 considers that the word pri-
marily means ‘knowledge, ’ ‘wisdom, ’ ‘priestly lore, ’ then
‘sacrifice’ and ‘spiritual authority.’ Bloomfield, ^8 on the other
hand,  insists that Vidatha refers to the ‘house’^9 in the first
place (from vid,  ‘acquire’),  and then to the ‘sacrifice, ’ as
connected with the house
 this interpretation,  at any rate, 
appears to suit all the passages. The term vidathya,  once^10
applied to the king (samrāṭ),  might seem to be against this
view,  but it may refer to his being ‘rich in homesteads’
 and
the connexion of the woman with the Vidatha,  as opposed to
the Sabhā,  tells in favour^11 of Bloomfield's explanation. That
the word ever denotes an asylum,  like the house of the
Brahmin, ^12 as Ludwig^13 suggests,  is doubtful.^14

Cf. Zimmer,  Altindisches Leben,  177, 
who suggests that Vidatha sometimes
means (e.g.,  in vidatheṣu praśastaḥ,  Rv.
ii. 27,  12) a smaller assembly than the
Samiti. But we have no ground to be
certain that such smaller assemblies
ever existed at an early date either
in India or elsewhere among Āryan
peoples.
