Vyañjanā'
615 Griffith - vyakta = beauteous things, (i.e. well adorned).
vyaktāḥ - occurs at Rv. VII. 56.1, which is - ‘kā’ im vyaktā náraḥ sanīlā rudrásya máryā ádhā sváśvāḥ.”
Sāyaṇa - kāntiyuktāḥ, i.e. beautiful; 'lustrous', 'radiant'; Griffith - 'radiant. 'vyaktam' occurs at Rv. X. 85.21, which is - udīrsvátah pátvatī hye3şā viśvāvasum namasā girbhirīle, anyámiccha pitrsádam vyaktām sásáte bhāgó janúšā tásya viddhi.” Sāyaṇa explains as - vyaktām anūdheti parisgutām vigatāñjanām vā. i.e. 'clearly manifested'; or that whose añjana is removed. Griffith - 'fair' (i.e. beautiful). vyñjata - occurs at Rv. VIII. 7.25, which is - “vidyúdhastā abhi’dyavaḥ siprāḥ śīrşánhiranyáiḥ, s'ubhrá vyañjata s'riyé."
Sāyaṇa - vyañjata vyañjayanti, vyaktīkurvanti, dhārayantīty arthāḥ, i.e. - 'display'; 'bear';
Griffith - 'deck.
We have seen as many as thirteen occurrences in which we come across different forms of the root vi+vanj in the Rv. These thirteen occurrences from the Rv. bear the general sense of opening up something hidden and bringing it to light, embellishing, decorating, adorning and the like.
Thus we can say that the root vi+Vañj in the Rv. has these two connected meanings (i) revealing, (ii) adorning.
The Yajurveda has, 'vyaktah' at XIX. 87, and 'vyaktam' at XXXV. 1. Yv. XIX. 87 reads as - kumbhó vanisthúrjanitá śácībhiryásminnágre yónyam gárbho antáḥ, plas'i'rvyaktaḥ s'atádhāra útso duhé ná kumbhaí svadhám pitřbhyaḥ.”
Uvața explains, vyaktaḥ = spastaḥ, i.e. - clearly manifested or displayed; Mahīdhara has vyaktaḥ = spastaḥ.
