Vedic Reference

English

 Adhi-rāja. — The word occurs fairly often throughout the
early literature, ^1 denoting ‘overlord’ among kings or princes.
In no passage is it clear that a real over-king is meant,  as
the word rājan may mean king or merely prince,  a person of
royal blood. On the whole it seems most probable that the
word connotes no more than ‘king’ as opposed to ‘prince.’
