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 Konsheng was appointed the first Borpatrogohain. The designation was borrowed from Vrihat-patra, the Habung dependent of the Chutia king. The Buranji chronicles mention the Chutia official as Pator-Lung who fought alongside Kasitara Barua against Phrasenmung Borgohain and Klinglun Burhagohain in the Ahom-Sutia battle at Dibrugarh.. The Chutia Borpatra official appears to have been retained until the later part of the reign of Suklenmung. He was killed following a rebellion led by a Brahmin official against the king; the rebel Brahmin, however, escaped and fled to Koch Bihar.
