Dear Vijayji:
I do not agree that vedya means "to be known" since I think that it means
"knowable". I would accept that interpretation if you can establish your
claim from the Suktas of the RigVeda, otherwise, I will go by the symbolic
meaning; that is, Sri Krishna indicating that all Vedas in the ultimate
sense is trying to describe Him, in that sense, He is the "knowable".
With best regards,
Dhruba.
