Uddāma (उद्दाम) refers to one of the eight kinds of daṇḍaka according to Kavikarṇapūra (C. 16th century) in his Vṛttamālā 61. Kavikarṇapūra was an exponent on Sanskrit metrics belongs to Kāmarūpa (modern Assam). Accordingly, “If there exist thirteen ra-s after two na-s, then it is Uddāma”.

Uddāma (उद्दाम) refers to a variety of Gāthā: one of the oldest Prakrit meters probably developed out of the epic Anuṣṭubh, as discussed in books such as the Chandonuśāsana, Kavidarpaṇa, Vṛttajātisamuccaya and Svayambhūchandas.—Among the metres derived from the Gāthā, Gīti, Upagīti and Udgīti are most important. [...] By adding 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 caturmātras before the last long letter in the first half of a Gāthā, we respectively get a Jātiphala, Gātha, Udgātha, Vigātha, Avagātha, Saṃgātha, Upagātha and Gāthinī. If more than 14 caturmātras are so added, the metre is called Mālāgātha. In a similar manner, we get Dāma, Uddāma, Vidāma, Avadāma, Saṃdāma, Upadāma and Mālādāma by the addition of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 13 or more caturmātras respectively, before the last long letter in the first half of a Jātiphala.

[...] The hares scream loudly (ghurghura-uddāma-rāviṇī) and the dogs pursue them; and in a short time there is a great fight tooth and nail. This produces a feeling of the terrible. [...]”.

Uddāma (उद्दाम) refers to one of the warriors in Rāvaṇa’s army, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.7 [The killing of Rāvaṇa] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly, “[...] When the battle had been going on for a long time, the army of the Rākṣasas was broken by the Vānaras like a forest by winds. [...] From anger at the killing of Hasta and Prahasta, [Uddāma, ...] and others in Daśānana’s army advanced. [...] The Rākṣasa Uddāma killed Vighna. [...] Then the soldiers of Rāma and Rāvaṇa returned, purifying their own men, killed and unkilled”.

1) Uddāma (उद्दाम) refers to (1) the “great (tree)” (that is stopping the influx of karma), or (2) the “great (trunk)” (of restraint), according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Glory to the great tree that is stopping the influx of karma (saṃvara-uddāma-vṛkṣa) whose opponent is conquered, which is rooted in all the rules of conduct for a mendicant, whose great trunk is restraint (saṃyama-uddāma-kāṇḍa) , whose full branches are tranquillity, which is covered with the blossom of virtue [and] is beautiful because of producing whole fruit through the reflections. [Thus ends the reflection on] stopping the influx of karma”.

Synonyms: Utkaṭa, Udāra.

2) Uddāma (उद्दाम) refers to “wanton (women)”, according to the Jñānārṇava.—Accordingly, “Here in the world a whole multitude of objects, and the supremacy that is desired by the chiefs of snakes, men and gods, and other than [that], family, power, prosperity, and wanton women, etc. (subhagatva—kulabalasubhagatvoddāmarāmādi) is easily obtained. On the contrary, that very same jewel of enlightenment alone is difficult to obtain. [Thus ends the reflection on] enlightenment”.

Uddāma (उद्दाम) is mentioned in the “Janjirā plates (set I) of Aparājita”. Accordingly, “Uddāma, born in the family of the Kāyasthas, who is a son of Chakkaiya, has indeed written this charter approved by all for the Kramavid Kolama”.

These copper plates (mentioning Uddāma) were discovered by one Bala Tukaram, while digging in the compound of his house at Chikhala-pākhāḍī, a part of Muruḍ Janjirā in the Kolābā District of the Mahārāṣṭra State.The grant was made on the mahāparvan of the solar eclipse which occurred on Sunday, the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of Śrāvaṇa, when the sun was in the zodiacal sign (rāśi) of Siṃha in the cyclic year Vijaya and the expired Śaka year 915.
