VIDYĀ

II.

A

deity.

This

deity

is

worshipped

as

the

deity

of

three

Vedas

which

are

the

most

important

of

the

religious

or

Vedic

literature.

Mention

is

made

about

this

deity

in

the

preface

of

Ṛgvedabhāṣya

by

sāyaṇa,

as

follows.

Once

vidyā

approached

a

Brahmin

and

said

“I

am

your

wealth.

Your

duty

is

to

impart

me

to

disciples

who

are

pure,

celibate,

law-abiding

and

active,

and

who

protect

the

treasure.

I

hate

disciples

who

are

jealous.”

Vidyā

in

the

Atharvaveda^1

and

later^2

denotes

‘knowledge,

’

especially

that

of

the

three

Vedas,

which

are

called

the

trayī

vidyā,

‘the

threefold

knowledge,

’

as

early

as

the

Taittirīya

Brāhmaṇa.^3

In

a

more

special

sense

Vidyā

occurs

in

lists

of

objects

of

study

in

the

Śatapatha

Brāhmaṇa.^4

What

exactly

the

expression

here

means

is

uncertain:

Sāyaṇa^5

suggests

the

philosophic

systems

Geldner^6

the

first

Brāhmaṇas

and

Eggeling,

^7

more

probably,

special

sciences

like

the

Sarpavidyā

or

the

Viṣavidyā.
