The following legend is narrated in the Baramahal Records. [108] "On a time, the Guru or Patriarch came near a village, and put up in a neighbouring grove until he sent in a Dasari to apprize his sectaries of his approach. The Dasari called at the house of one of them, and announced the arrival of the Guru, but the master of the house took no notice of him, and, to avoid the Guru, he ran away through the back door of the house, which is called peradu, and by chance came to the grove, and was obliged to pay his respects to the Guru, who asked if he had seen his Dasari, and he answered that he had been all day from home. On which, the Guru sent for the Dasari, and demanded the reason of his staying away so long, when he saw the master of the house was not in it. The Dasari replied that the person was at home when he went there, but that, on seeing him, he fled through the back door, which the Guru finding true, he surnamed him the Peratiguntavaru or the runaway through the back door, now corruptly called Perdagantuwaru, and said that he would never honour him with another visit, and that he and his descendants should henceforth have no Guru or Patriarch." Pokanadu (poka, areca palm: Areca Catechu). Velanati. Kapus from a foreign (veli) country. Yerlam. "The last division," Mr. Stuart writes, "are the most peculiar of all, and are partly of Brahmanical descent. The story goes that a Brahman girl named Yerlamma, not having been married by her parents in childhood, as she should have been, was for that reason turned out of her caste. A Kapu, or some say a Besta man, took compassion on her, and to him she bore many children, the ancestors of the Yerlam Kapu caste. In consequence of the harsh treatment of Yerlamma by her parents and caste people, all her descendants hate Brahmans with a deadly hatred, and look down upon them, affecting also to be superior to every other caste. They are most exclusive, refusing to eat with any caste whatever, or even to take chunam (lime for chewing with betel) from any but their own people, whereas Brahmans will take lime from a Sudra, provided a little curd be mixed with it. The Yerlam Kapus do not employ priests of the Brahman or other religious classes even for their marriages. At these no homam (sacred fire) ceremony is performed, and no worship offered to Vigneswara, but they simply ascertain a fortunate day and hour, and get an old matron (sumangali) to tie the tali to the bride's neck, after which there is feasting and merry-making." The Panta Kapus are said to be divided into two tegas or endogamous divisions, viz., Perama Reddi or Muduru Kapu (ripe or old Kapu); and Katama Reddi or Letha Kapu (young or unripe Kapus). A sub-division called Konda (hill) Kapus is mentioned by the Rev. J. Cain [109] as being engaged in cultivation and the timber trade in the eastern ghats near the Godavari river (see Konda Dora). Akula (betel-leaf seller) was returned at the census, 1901, as a sub-caste of Kapus.
