¹ Mr. T. A. Gopinatha Rao says: ‘Enādi corresponds to the European knighthood. The recipient of this honour must be the commander of an army and must have distinguished himself in the battlefield. The king adorns such a worthy soldier with a signet ring and confers upon him the title of Enādi. See the commentary on eighth sutra of Purattiṇaiyiyal, Poruḷadikāram, Tolkāppiyam,’ Trav. Arch. Series, vol. i, p. 4, n. 9.
