PURPORT
Prahararaja is a designation given to brahmanas 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 Prahararaja.
The Prahararaja is generally selected from a family of priests close to the king.
During the time of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Prahararaja was Paramananda Prahararaja.
