why 9th Jhanasamādhi attainment is called as sanna-vedayita-nirodho and not as sanna-vedana-nirodho?

There must be some reason, to use vedayita and not vedana.

my intuition says that its not cessation of feeling. but cessation of feeling object. what do you say ?

From DPD digital pali dictionary:

vedayita nt. which is felt; felt experience; feeling; lit. felt [√vid + *aya + ita] ✓

vedanā 1 fem. (pleasant, unpleasant or neutral) felt experience; feeling; sensation; second of the five aggregates; lit. causing to know [√vid + *anā] ✓
