Veda in Malayalam
None of these entries is the plain word for Veda itself; the dictionary lists the individual books and the terms around them. The closest is അഥര്വം (atharvam), the fourth Veda, the collection of hymns and charms. Say a-thar-vam.
The fourth Veda.
അഥര്വം നാലാമത്തെ വേദമാണെന്ന് അധ്യാപകൻ പറഞ്ഞു.
atharvam naalaamaththe vedamaanennu adhyaapakan paranju.
The teacher said the Atharva is the fourth Veda.
All Malayalam words for “veda”
- അഥര്വം (atharvam) — The fourth Veda.
- മുഖം (mugam) — Face, aspect, visage, front, facade, main part, direction, beginning, entrance, Veda, the preliminary phase or stage in the plot of a drama.
- അശ്വഗന്ധ (ashwa gandha) — A medicine in Ayur Veda.
- നിഗമനം (nigamanam) — Conclusion, inference, deduction, word of a Veda.
മുഖം (mugam) and നിഗമനം (nigamanam) are glossed with Veda only in passing, as an opening or beginning and as a word of scripture, so neither works as a translation.
