A name given to Ananda. (S.i.215, 219; cf. Mhv.iii.36; Ap.i.7; DhSA., p.1). The Commentary explains Vedeha by pandita. (Vedehamunino ti panditamunino. Pandito hi ñānasankhātena vedena Īhati sabbakiccāni karoti, tasmā vedeho ti vuccati. Vedeho ca so muni cāti = Vedehamuni). The Apadāna Commentary (ApA.i.106), however, gives another explanation, according to which Ananda was the son of a Videha lady (Videharatthe jātā, tassā deviyā putto). SA.ii.132 ; cf. MT.149 (vedena paññāya Īhati pavattatīti = vedeho). Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/vy/vedehamuni.htm |
