Gulmapati refers to the “officer commanding a Gulma squadron�.�Gulma ordinarily means a wood, fort and a police station. Fleet translated Gaulmika as superintendent of woods and forests (CII � III.52 fn.4). Dr U N Ghosal takes Gaulmika as Collector of Custom duties and refers to ‘Gulmadeva� of the Arthasastra in support of his view (Cf. Hindu Revenue System, p.292). According to Chandeswara, Gulma meant a group of three or five villages. It seems that Gulma was a small administrative unit in a group of three or five villages and was the centre of a police station.
