. F. R. Hemingway writes that "they recognise two main divisions, called Desāyi (indigenous) and Turpu- sākas (easterns) or immigrants from Vizagapatam. They sometimes speak of their occupational sub-divisions as gõtras. Thus, Sanathana is the iron, Sanaga, the wooden, Abhõnasa, the brass, Prathanasa, the stone, and Suparnasa, the gold gõtra."

Visvakarma had also five daughters, of whom Sarasvathi was married to Brahma, Sachi Devi to Indra, Mando Dari to Ravana, and Ahalya to Gautama. Since they were married to the devatas, their descendants acquired the title of
