[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Atmavid in Purana glossary
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Āٳ (आत्मविद्) refers to the “knowers of the Self�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.26. Accordingly as Śiva said to Nanda, after the latter cursed Dakṣa (and others):—“[...] O Nandin of great intellect, listen. Do not get angry. You have cursed the Brahmins in vain, erroneously thinking that I have been cursed. Vedas are in the form of syllables of verses and hymns. The Self is established in the Sūkta, whomsoever it may belong to. Hence do not angrily curse the knowers of the Self (ٳ). The Vedas shall not be cursed by anyone, not even by the evil-minded�.
