Victorious time without end in sacred text (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veda

'sacred text' is the definition.
'veda' can be an answer for 'text' (I have seen 'Sacred text' mean 'veda' so perhaps 'text' could also mean 'veda'). I also know that 'sacred' relates to this answer.

'victorious time without end' is the wordplay.
'victorious time' becomes 'VE Day' (Victory in Europe Day in World War Two).
'without end' means to remove the last letter.
'veday' with its last letter taken away is 'VEDA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for veda that I've seen before include "Sacred literature of Hindus - asks Dave" , "Most ancient and sacred literature of Hindus" , "Most sacred literature of Hinduism" , "Hindu scriptures" , "Ancient Hindu scripture" .)
