Meaning
The word "vidai" has two primary meanings: "answer" and "bull." As "answer," it typically appears in song texts when a character asks for a response or a reply from another, often a lover or a deity. As "bull," it refers to Nandi, the sacred bull and mount of Lord Shiva, and is encountered in lines describing Shiva's attributes, his processions, or his presence.
