Vedas personified?

"Vedas" here refers to the shrutis.

 

The Gaudiya acaryas have explained that the Brahma Gayatri herself, the Mother of the Vedas, performed penance and attained siddhi in the form of Kama-Gayatri. If the Mother of the Vedas can gain more depth into her personality, why not the Vedas themselves?

I found this.It appears to be a term used in varying contexts.

 

From SB1.19.23 purport

 

The human beings on earth are situated at the beginning of the intermediate worlds, but living beings like Brahma and his contemporaries live in the upper worlds, of which the topmost is Satyaloka. In Satyaloka the inhabitants are fully cognizant of Vedic wisdom, and thus the mystic cloud of material energy is cleared. Therefore they are known as the Vedas personified. Such persons, being fully aware of knowledge both mundane and transcendental, have no interest in either the mundane or transcendental worlds. They are practically desireless devotees. In the mundane world they have nothing to achieve, and in the transcendental world they are full in themselves. Then why do they come to the mundane world? They descend on different planets as messiahs by the order of the Lord to deliver the fallen souls. On the earth they come down and do good to the people of the world in different circumstances under different climatic influences. They have nothing to do in this world save and except reclaim the fallen souls rotting in material existence, deluded by material energy.

yes that is right, The pure devotee on the maha bhagavat stage can be known as the personification of the vedas.

 

While a devotee may be pure, the maha bhagavata has

is full of the knowledge and conclusions of the vedic truths.

 

The shastra advises the seeker to search for such a person and surrender to him.
