way-da

Explanation

This literally means ‘knowledge’ and is also known as ‘shruti’ – something which is heard. More specifically it refers to the four sacred Hindu scriptures called the Vedas:

the Rig (Rg or Rc) Veda;

the Sama Veda;

the Yajur Veda;

the Artharva Veda.

Context

Any teaching which is consistent with the conclusions of the four vedas is also accepted as vedic.
