Note 1 — Chapter XVIII · SACRED PLACES AND OBJECTS

According to other accounts the village of Kanòdrs1 is also a satimad, and Todas of all clans may be brought there to make statements. It seems most probable that both places are satimad, but that the custom of using Kanòdrs as a touchstone of truth is now no longer followed, Kiudr only being used for this purpose. It will be remembered that both Kiudr and Kanòdrs have features of dairy ritual peculiar to themselves, and that in some respects there is a close resemblance between the ritual of the two places.
