History
We find mention of this clan in the minor inscriptions at Hathigumpha inscriptions on Udayagiri Caves at Bhubaneswar in Orissa. These are as follows[2]:
IV-Inscriptions in the sarpagumpha (Over the door way)
This inscription consisting of one line, is incised over the doorway of the sarpagumpha.
चूलकमस कोठाजेया च
Translation - The chamber and veranda/or side chamber of cūlakama. However Dr. Sahu interpreted Ajeya being united by a Sandhi qualifying Koṭha there by denoting invincible. but he ignored the conjunction ca which follows Koṭha and Jeya.
V-Inscription in the sarpagumpha ( to the left of the doorway)
L.1- कंमस हलखि
L.2- णय च पसादो
Translation :- [The pavilion is the] gift of Kamma and Halakhina. Most probably Halakhiṇa was the wife of Kamma. Chūlakamma- found in the inscription No. IV and Kamma of this record indicate official designations rather than the proper names. Kamma may be taken as minister of works (Karma saciva) and Cūlakamma appears to be a junior cadre of minister in the Department of works.
VI-Haridas cave inscription
This inscription contains one line has been incised over one of the three entrances to the main chamber of the cave from the veranda.
चूलकमस पसातो कोठाजेया च
Translation :- The chamber and veranda (or side chamber) are the gift of cūlakama.
