Binayak Mishra also believed that the Bhauma tribe was connected with the ancient āUtkala raceā, because the Chaurasi copper-plate inscription of King Shivakara II states that he belonged to the āBhauma lineage of the Utkala familyā.

N.K. Sahu and some other scholars connected the Bhauma-Karas to the āBhuyan tribeā of northern Odisha or the āBhuyan aristocratsā.
Binayak Mishra opined that Odisha was the original home land of Bhaumas, and that they were a nonAryan tribe and most probably same as āBhuyansā.

Yet another theory connects the family to the legendary Bhauma Dynasty of āPragjyotishaā (modern Assam).
According to some ancient texts, the Bhaumas of Pragjyotisha descended from Naraka (alias Bhauma), who was a son of the God Vishnu.

This is based on the occurrence of the phrase āMahendra Bhaumaā in a manuscript of Vishnu PurÄį¹a.
Moreover, the VÄyu PurÄį¹a suggests that King Guha lived in the 4th century, while the Bhaumakara Dynasty's rule started in the 8th century.

KC. Panigrahi tried to trace the origin of Bhaumkara Dynasty on the basis of the Pasupati temple inscription of Nepal. According to this: āRajyamati, the queen of the Nepalese king Jayadeva, was the daughter of Harsavarman who belonged to a royal family, called āBhagadattaā +

++ and conquered Gauda, Odra, Kalinga and Kosala. Since the Bhaumas of Odisha claim their descent from Bhagadatta, Panigrahi concludes that Bhaumas of Odisha and Harsavarman, the ruler of Assam, belong to Bhagadatta.ā
