Borgohain (Ahom language: Chao Thao Lung) was the second of the two original counselors 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 the Burhagohain. Both the positions existed from the time of the first Ahom king, Sukaphaa. After the first major expansion of the Ahom kingdom, the Sadiya province was initially given to the Borgohain to administer.^[1] But later in the year 1527, he was replaced by King-lun Buragohain who was made Thao-mung Bo-ngen(Sadiyakhowa Gohain).^[2] After that, he was given the region south of the Dikhow river to Koliabor on the south bank. In later times, he administered the region east of Burai on the north bank,^[3] as Borbarua was given the charge of territories between Sadiya province to Kaliabor.^[4]
