If the identification of Vesara with Telugu or Tri-kaliṅga is accepted (*see* below), and if the reading Andhra for Randlıra is also accepted, the Kaliṅga and the Andhra would be two branches of Vesara. And as the Drāviḍa style is stated to be of the hexagonal or octagonal shape (*see* above) it would appear that the Drāviḍa proper is octagonal and the Andhra, which is placed between the Drāviḍa and the Vesara, is hexagonal (*see* further discussion below).
