The Hathigumpha Inscription and the Bhabru Edict
of the same age, seem to contain the names of some of his officers. They are: Nagara-akhadamsa Bhuti (Vyaghra-gumphā), Kamma Halakhina (Sarpa-gumphā), Culakama (Sarpa-gumphā and Pavana-gumphā), Mahamada (= Mahāmātra) Bāriyāya Nākiya (Jambesvara-gumphā), Atasukhapradinaka (Choṭā Hathigumphā), and Pādamulika Kusuma (Tattva-gumphā No. II). It appears that at least two classes of officers, viz., Mahāmātra and Nagara-viyohälaka (Nagara-akhadamsa) of the Maurya set up continued under the new kingdom of Kalinga.
