Pendukkumekki, denoting those who are subservient to their women. A man, on marriage, joins his wife's family, and he succeeds to the property, not of his father, but of his father-in-law. Siviyan or Sivala. An occupational name, meaning palanquin-bearer. Sangukatti, or those who tie the conch or chank shell (Turbinella rapa). It is narrated that Krishna wanted to marry Rukmani, whose family insisted on marrying her to Sishupalan. When the wedding was about to take place, Krishna carried off Rukmani, and placed a bangle made of chank shell on her wrist. Samban, a name of Siva. Most members of this division put on the sacred ashes as a sectarian mark. It is said that the Yadavas were in the habit of making offerings to Devendra, but Krishna wanted them to worship him. With the exception of a few Yadavas and Paraiyans who were also employed in grazing cattle, all the shepherds refused to do so. It is stated that "in ancient times, men of the Idaiyan caste ranked only a little above Paraiyans, and that the Idaicheri, or Idaiyan suburb, was always situated close to the Paraicheri, or Paraiyan's suburb, in every properly constituted village." [172] Pudunattu or Puthukkanattar, meaning people of the new country. The Idaiyans claim that, when Krishna settled in Kishkindha, he peopled it with members of their caste. Perun (big) Tali, and Siru (small) Tali, indicating those whose married women wear a large or small tali. Panjaram or Pancharamkatti. The name is derived from the peculiar gold ornament called panjaram or pancharam shaped like a many-rayed sun, and having three dots on it, which is worn by widows. It is said that in this division "widow marriage is commonly practiced, because Krishna used to place a similar ornament round the necks of the Idaiyan widows of whom he became enamoured, to transform them from widows into married women, to whom pleasure was not forbidden, and that this sub-division is the result of these amours." [173] Maniyakkara. Derived from mani, a bell, such as is tied round the necks of cattle, sheep and goats. Kalla. Most numerous in the area inhabited by the Kallan caste. Possibly an offshoot of this caste, composed of those who have taken to the occupation of shepherds. Like the Kallans, this sub-division has exogamous septs or kilais, e.g., Deva (god), Vendhan (king). Sholia. Territorial name denoting inhabitants of the Chola country. Anaikombu, or elephant tusk, which was the weapon used by Krishna and the Yadavas to kill the giant Sakatasura. Karutthakadu, black cotton country. A sub-division found mostly in Madura and Tinnevelly, where there is a considerable tract of black cotton soil. The Perumal Madukkarans or Perumal Erudukkarans (see Gangeddu), who travel about the country exhibiting performing bulls, are said to belong to the Pu (flower) Idaiyan section of the Idaiyan caste. This is so named because the primary occupation thereof was, and in some places still is, making garlands for temples.
