indweller of all the Four VedAs.He is the subject of
salutation by the Four VedAs.

Additional Comments on Chathur-vEdAthamakthvam
***********************************************
"sarvE vEdA: sarva-vEdhyA: saasthrA:
 sarvE Yaj~nA: sarva ijyasaya KrishNa:"

Lord KrishNa is every thing ;He is of the form of 
all the Four VedAs; He is the One to be known by all of 
His SaasthrAs; He is of the form of all Yaj~nAs . 
He is SarvAthmakan , Sarva VyApi. That is why He is
saluted as : VedAya nama: " by the 129th SrI VishNu
Sahasra Naamam (SVSN).He decalres in GitA : "Veda-vidEva
cha Aham " (I am indeed the knower of all the Four VedAs).

Thirumangai Mannan salutes the Lord of ThiruallikkENi 
as Vedam and Vedatthin Suvaippayan :

Vedatthai Vedatthin Suvaippayanai --Aadhiyai,
Amudhai , YennaiALudaya Appanai" --Periya Thirumozhi:2.3.2

In His TirukkaNnapura Paasuram , AzhwAr salutes 
the Lord as "Veda Mudhalvan " , the Supreme One
in the vedAs.

In the ThiruppullANi Paasuram , parakAla Naayaki
recognizes the Lord in Viraha Taapam as :

vedamum vELviyum ViNNum iru sudarum
AadhiyumAnan aruL tantavavA namakku
--Periya Thirumozhi: 9.4.9

Here Kaliyan acknowledges the grace of the Lord
and sees Him as Veda Moorthy , Yaj~na Moorthy ,
hte Vast AakAsam , the Sun and the Moon and 
the Prime force behind the Universe.

In a moving Paasuram saluting Thiru AzhundhUr
PerumAL , SrI Gosakan , Thirumangai pays respect to
His Chathur-Veda -Svarropam:

ChandhOhA PouzhiyA TaitthiriyA 
Saama VediyanE NedumAlE
anthO NinnadiyanRi MaRRaRiyEn
AzhunthUr mEl tisai ninRa AmmAnE
--Periya Thriumozhi: 7.7.2

Chathur-vEdAthmakthvam of the Lord is saluted here
through reference to Him as "ChandhOhA, PouzhiyA,
TaittirIyA , Saama vEdiyanE ". Kaliyan states
here that he does not know of anything except 
the Lord's sacred feet.

(PraNavam) Chathur-vEdAthmakAya Nama:
Saptha Giri VedAthmanE Nama:
