*Brahmavāda*, *brahmavādin* and *brahmavādinī* — these terms have been used in Vedic literature for the debaters and discussants.²⁰ Other key terms and concepts related to *brahmodya* are *pṛcchā* (inquiry) and *vicikitsā* (investigation). In *Ṛgveda* I.164, the seer makes *pṛcchā* to *kavis* (the knowledgeable ones) as to where does the ultimate end of this earth lie, and where does reside the *paramavyoma* (the ultimate space) of speech.
