text: # Burhagohain
  
  Buragohain (Ahom language: Chao Phrung Mung) was the first of the two original counsellors in the Ahom kingdom. He was selected by the Ahom king from members of the Ahom nobility (Satgharia Ahom),who vowed not to fight for the position of Ahom kingship, rather act as a guide to the Ahom king in matters of administering his province in an efficient manner (King Maker). The other original counsellor is Chao Thao Lung or Borgohain. Both the positions existed from the time of the first Ahom king, Sukaphaa.
  
  During the rule of Suhungmung, the Burhagohain was given the Dihing province (the region north of the Dikhow river up to Tinsukia) to administer. Later, he was made in-charge of the region between Sadiya province and Gereluwa river (Dikrong) on the north bank of the Brahmaputra, as Borbarua was given the charge of territories between Sadiya province to Kaliabor on the south bank.
