Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
Englishkoṭṭa-rājan or °rāja, lit. fort-ruler
precise mg. not clear
sometimes clearly an independent potentate (tho perhaps a minor one, cf. Mvy 〔3677〕 °rājā = Tib. khams kyi rgyal po, king of a realm, region, or rgyal phran, petty ruler)
so, °rāja iva mantrigaṇaparivṛtaḥ Divy 〔126.4〕

Av 〔i.108.7〕
sarvakoṭṭarājānāṃ cāturdvīpakānāṃ ca sattvānāṃ Dbh 〔81.17〕
mānitāś ca bhaviṣyāmo 'navadyāś ca sarvakoṭṭarājabhiḥ (so read with several mss. for Lefm. °koṭa°), and we shall be honored and not contemned by all k° (surely foreign princes) LV 〔137.3〕
viṃśati ca sahasra paryantakāḥ koṭṭarājās tathā … LV 〔94.16〕 (vs), here they approach Śuddhodana submissively, possibly they may be vassals of his, but it seems more likely that they are foreign princes
but in other cases they seem clearly to be part of the kingʼs own retinue or at least direct dependents, apparently officers
so in LV 〔118.10〕 (Śuddhodana gives orders to the people of his city) saṃnipātyantāṃ sarvakoṭṭarājānaḥ, ekībhavantu śreṣṭhi-gṛhapaty-amātya-dauvārika-pāriṣadyāḥ
Mv 〔i.231.15〕 rājā aśītihi koṭṭarājasahasrehi sārdhaṃ anyāye ca janatāye
〔234.16〕 rājñā ca arcimena aśītihi ca koṭṭarājāna-sahasrehi (one cpd. word!)
Divy 〔61.16〕 Śaṅkho 'pi rājā aśītikoṭṭarājasahasraparivāro
KP 〔84.8〕 (kumāraṃ) sarvaśreṣṭhinaigamajānapatayaḥ (read °padāḥ) koṭṭarājānaś ca namasyanti
Sukh 〔68.1〕 (amātyān stryāgārāñ śreṣṭhino) gṛhapatīn koṭṭarājāṃś ca paryeṣayed. It is, however, perhaps possible to take the word in all these latter cases as meaning vassal prince. The context gives no clue to the mg. in SP 〔433.4〕
Suv 〔153.9〕.
