v2.c4.s2.319
Brahmodya in the Brāhmaṇas¹ denotes a ‘theological riddle,’ such as formed an essential part of various ceremonies in the Vedic ritual, as at the Aśvamedha or the Daśarātra. Brahma-vadya is the form found in the Kauṣītaki Brāhmaṇa,² and Brahma-vādya in the Taittirīya Saṃhitā³ probably has the same sense.
