Vidatha is a word of obscure sense, confined mainly to the Rigveda. According to Roth,[१] the sense is primarily ‘order,’ then the concrete body which gives orders, then ‘assembly’ for secular[२] or religious ends,[३] or for war.[४] Oldenberg[५] once thought that the main idea is ‘ordinance’ (from vi-dhā, ‘dispose,’ ‘ordain’), and thence ‘sacrifice.’ Ludwig[६] thinks that the root idea is an ‘assembly,’ especially of the Maghavans and the Brahmins. Geldner[७] considers that the word primarily means ‘knowledge,’ ‘wisdom,’ ‘priestly lore,’ then ‘sacrifice’ and ‘spiritual authority.’ Bloomfield,[८] on the other hand, insists that Vidatha refers to the ‘house’[९] in the first place (from vid, ‘acquire’), and then to the ‘sacrifice,’ as connected with the house; this interpretation, at any rate, appears to suit all the passages. The term vidathya, once[१०] applied to the king (samrāṭ), might seem to be against this view, but it may refer to his being ‘rich in homesteads’; and the connexion of the woman with the Vidatha, as opposed to the Sabhā, tells in favour[११] of Bloomfield's explanation. That the word ever denotes an asylum, like the house of the Brahmin,[१२] as Ludwig[१३] suggests, is doubtful.[१४]

Cf. Zimmer, Altindisches Leben, 177, who suggests that Vidatha sometimes means (e.g., in vidatheṣu praśastaḥ, Rv. ii. 27, 12) a smaller assembly than the Samiti. But we have no ground to be certain that such smaller assemblies ever existed at an early date either in India or elsewhere among Āryan peoples.
