¹ About the existence of these types there need not be much doubt; because, for instance, Māgadha, Pāñchāla, Drāviḍa and others are used to imply types other than of buildings also. For instance Māgadha stands for a Prākrit language, a tribe of people born of a Vaiśya mother and Kshatriya father; Pāñchāla stands for one of the four styles of composition; and Drāviḍa for a language, a class of Brahmins, etc. The point is sufficiently elaborated later on.
