Please define "revealed text" as is understood in the syllabus.

It would appear that the term assumes the existence of some divine element to "reveal" these texts, which is not assumed in the Buddha's teachings.

As an aside, that would be the Pali "Canon"; folks in his time waged war with spears and arrows. ;-)
