A further classification (Saṁkīrṇa, etc.) is made with regard to materials of which these prākāra-buildings are made (line 103). The materials are same as in other cases, namely stone, brick and wood (line 102). The gopura or gate-house of the first court (antar-maṇḍala) is technically called dvāra-śobhā or beauty of the gate; and those of the second, third fourth and fifth courts are called respectively dvāra-śāla, dvāra-prāsāda, dvāra-harmya, and mahā-gopura (*ibid.*, xxxiii, 9).
