Borpatragohain was the third of the three great Gohains (counsellors) in the Ahom kingdom. This position was created by Suhungmung Dihingia Raja in the year 1527 when Koncheng was made the first Borpatrogohain.[1] The designation was probably borrowed from Habungadhipati Vrihat-patra, a Chutia chief dependent on the Chutiya king,[2][3][4] was stationed at Habung.[5] The other two ministers, the Burhagohain and the Borgohain, strongly opposed the creation of this office, but the king successfully instituted this by claiming that three ministers are now required to stabilize the kingdom. Suhungmung claimed that Konsheng, a formidable warrior was his half-brother who grew up in a Naga chieftain's house.[6] His descendants started using the surname Borpatrogohain. In later times, people from non-Ahoms families, like those of Garhgayan Patar and Maran Patar were also made Borpatragohain.[7] and administered the region from the Dafala hills to the Brahmaputra, and between the Gerelua and Pichalua rivers.
