The exact meaning of these terms varies by the period, the ruling dynasty, and the region. For example: * In the early medieval inscriptions of Bengal region: * Paranayi-vishaya is mentioned as a part of the Samatata-mandala * Gokalika-mandala is mentioned as a part of the Kotivarsha-vishaya * Khadi-vishaya is another name for Khadi-mandala * Some inscriptions mention units with multiple designations, such as Gopa-rashtra-vishaya and Khetak-ahara-vishaya (presumably, the territory called "Gopa" was formerly designated as a rashtra and then re-designated as a vishaya). * Sometimes, a vishaya referred to a subdivision larger than a district. The governor of a vishaya was called a vishaya-pati or a vishayadhyaksha. A vishaya was often included in a larger subdivisions such as a bhukti (province).
