Pandita means
Srimad-Bhagavatam
SB Canto 4
SB 4.24.67, Purport:
The word paṇḍita means "a wise man." Who is actually a wise man? The wise man is described in Bhagavad-gītā (7.19) in this way:
- bahūnāṁ janmanām ante
- jñānavān māṁ prapadyate
- vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti
- sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ
"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare."
Thus when the wise man actually becomes wise after many births and whimsical attempts at self-realization, he surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. Such a mahātmā, or learned person, knows that Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, is everything (vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti (BG 7.19)). Learned persons always think that life is wasted unless they worship Lord Kṛṣṇa or become His devotee.
