Purport

PrahararÄja is a designation given to brÄhmaṇas who represent the king when the throne is vacant. In Orissa, between the time of a king’s death and the enthronement of another king, a representative must sit on the throne. This representative is called PrahararÄja. The PrahararÄja is generally selected from a family of priests close to the king. During the time of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, the PrahararÄja was ParamÄnanda PrahararÄja.
