NampiLLai EDu
 
The quotes and references by our pUrvAchAryas give us certain finer details
 
Here is one from Srimad RamAyANam:
 
For the pAsuram
 
ThOALum ore nAnguDai -TiruvAimozhi 3-7-2; A discussion took place wth Sri Bhattar whether The Lord will have four or two shoulders in Sri VaikunTAm.
 
Here, for some souls The Lord reveals His four divine shoulders.
 
The words of ManDodhari is quoted here as
'thamasa: paramOA dhAthA sanku chakra:gaDhA dharA:'
 
From these words we understand that Sri RamA had given her the vision of Four Divine Shoulders.
 
 
 
ThiDa visumbu eri vaLi 1-1-7 of TiruvAimozhi
 
The prefix 'thidam' is given by AzAr to visumbu. Sri NampiLLai points out the reason for this from upanishad vAkyam.
 
Visumbu or AkAsam is the first of the pancha bHudham-s to be formed and exists for some time even after the others cease to exist.
 
The ThaithrEyam is quoted here:
 
"thasmAthvA yethasmAthAthman: AkAsasambUdha: AkAsath vAyuhU:'
 
EDu: AThAmana AkAsasambUdha: enRu sollugiRapadiyEa, allAdha bhUdhangaLukku munnEavuNDAi, avai azhithAlum, sila nAL niRkak kadavadhAiyAlEa thrudhamAna visumbennavumAm"
 
As spelt out in AthmAna AkAsasmbUdha: the AkASam comes to existence before other pancha bUdhams and exists for sometime even after others cease to exist.
 
This particular quote not just gives us the finer detail but also incisively give out the reason why the AkAsam is given the adjective of 'thidam'
