For example, Rajput in Hindu scriptures is defined as mixed-varna Jati with ritual status of shudras(examples: Skanda Puran or Shudrakamalakara by Kamalakara Bhatta) whereas Rajputra(prince) is not related to either caste or religion and applies for any ritual status(Brahmin prince, Kshatriya prince etc.).
