Here 'whose' in English is an interrogative pronoun, not a relative
pronoun. Also I think the 'who' in question (i.e. the person who owns
the servants) is singular, not plural. Thus:
Kassa upa.t.thaakaa tava mama ca bha.n.daani ki.nitu.m
Ko.lambanagara.m gamissanti?
Literally: The servants of whom will go to Colombo to buy goods for
you and me?
If one interprets the 'whose' as plural, then it would be 'kesa.m'.

See Warder, p.70 and p.73 for the differences between a relative
pronoun and an interrogative one.

Using a gerund here would be more typical in Pali, thus:
Suve tassa bhaataro ta.m vana.m gantva madhu.m phalaani ocinissanti.

With metta,
