Its Wrong to say that the Adithyans are the oldest and highest among the nadars, The Adithyans of Kayamozhi and Marthandans Of Kuttam (near Thisayenvillai) are actually brothers (Kuttam is elder) who are descendants of Rajah Rama Verma the king of Venad (Chera Dynasty) who was succeeded by Rajah Ravi Verma under the Marumakkathayam Law, the son's of rajah rama verma - Padmanabhan and Raman thampi wanted to seize the kingdom from raja ravi verma, sensing the anger in them the powerful Ettuveetu Pillaimaars secretly encouraged them to have a direct fight with the king assuring them that they will come forward and help them at that time to vanquish the king. apparently when they confronted the king one of the brothers sword got stuck in the low ceiling in the kings chambers, the king seizing the moment killed him with his dagger and ordered his soldiers to execute the other brother and their families also.

The People of both these towns believe that they are the descendants of the prince's of venad kingdom, the kula devam temple of Kuttam houses the same deity (Anandavalli Amman) as is in the Padmanabha swamy temple at Thiruvananthapuram, They believe that they escaped the execution while being taken bounded in a bullock cart to the execution spot for hanging by jumping onto trees while travelling.

2 Naga princesses from northeast were married into the Chera kingdom on the condition that Marumakkathayam law will be adopted by it, once the this was adopted slowly the kingdom eroded and the Nairs (who are a mix of chera and nagas) took over the kingdom, and thats why today's chera royal family is full of Nairs.

the people of kuttam also claim that they caught Kattabomman when he tried to raid their village, they claim to have a proof of this as kattaboman had given an apology in written form for his release.

The Adithyans and the Marthandans are just a fragment of the nadan community who are actually a mix of descendants from Chera, Chola and the Pandyan dynasties across various timelines.

The Panayaars of Moolakarai, Moolapuzhi, Maavadipanai along with nadans of Naalmavadi, Mela Pudukudi, Umarikaadu, Vagithankudirupu, Vaalayedi and few more important towns are the decendents from Pandiyan Dynasty

Nadans from Kuttam, Kayanmozhi, Panickamozhi, Paramankuruchi, Veerapankudirupu, Chettiyapathu, etc are decended from the chera dynasty.

Nadans from the chola dynasty are situated around the tanjore district

Considering all this its unfair to say that the Adityans are the oldest and highest among nadans, All Nelamaikara Nadans are equal in status, there may have been up and downs during different time periods.
