Uparaja
Uparaja is a noble title reserved for the viceroy in India and the Buddhist dynasties in Burma, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand, as well as some of their minor tributary kingdoms. It is ultimately from Sanskrit उपराज ''upa- rāja'' equivalent to and respectively in Latin. India The viceroy in the Indian Magadha Empire was titled Uparaja (lit. vice king).
