The adjective is a standard derivation from the noun 'Veda' meaning 'relating to the Vedas', so its meaning follows directly from the base.

Etymology

Vedic comes from the Sanskrit word Veda, which means 'knowledge' and was the name for the ancient sacred books of India. So Vedic describes things that come from those old texts or the old Sanskrit language they were written in.
