Huen Tsang also wrote about massive Yajnas and the holy smoke coming from villages nearby Vaitarani River, when he visited the monasteries in Kalinga. Following the 8th century many Brahmins Dikshit (Dixit), Mishra, Chaturvedi, Tripathy, Dwivedi, Trivedi, Upadhyaya, Sharma, along with some Mahant now Mohanty. (belonging to Kashyapa: gotra) from Hastigrama, Takari of Magadha and upper Gangetic plain also migrated to coastal districts. Finally the Eastern Ganga dynasty brought more number of Brahmins from all over North India. As Orissa or then Utkala grew to an effluent kingdom, many Brahmins migrated to Orissa during the late 11th century. A king named Sudyumna (king of the Solar Dynasty in Indian mythology) was born of King Ila in Ikshvaku dynasty; Sudyumna - King of Solar Dynasty had three sons who founded independent kingdoms: one son Utkala founded the state Utkala with capital at Puri, another son Gaya founded Gayā in Bihar and third son Haritāśca went to south. The King Utkala Deva invited Brahmins from Indo-Gangetic Plain and settled them in his kingdom. Sudyumna was a suryavanshi king of Kosala which was one of the Mahajanapada of ancient Aryans.
