For purposes of defence, the capital towns commanding strategic points are well fortified and divided into the following classes—Śibira, Vāhini-mukha, Sthānīya, Droṇaka, Saṁviddha, Kolaka, Nigama, and Skandhāvāra (38-41, 65-86). The forts for purely military purposes are called giri-durga, vana-durga, salila-durga, paṅka-durga, ratha-durga, deva-durga and miśra-durga (86-87, 88-90, 90-107, see under Durga).
