Burhagohain

The other original counsellors were Chao Thao Lung or Borgohain and Konsheng or Borpatragohain.

Both the positions (Burhagohain & Borgohain) existed from the time of the first Ahom king, Sukaphaa.

But the third position, Borpatragohain, was appointed by Suhungmung Dihingia Raja in 1527.

During the rule of Suhungmung, the Burhagohain was assigned to administer the Dihing province (the region north of the Dikhow river up to Tinsukia).

[1] Later, he was made in-charge of the region between Sadiya province and Gereluwa river (Dikrong) on the north bank of the Brahmaputra,[2] as Borbarua oversaw the territories between Sadiya province to Kaliabor on the south bank.
