Rājakumāraka (राजकुमारक) refers to a “prince”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.5 (“The Tripuras are fascinated).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “O sage, addressing the lord of the Asuras and the citizens thus, the sage with his disciples spoiled the Vedic rites in a determined manner. [...] The fascinated men practised rites of seduction and winning over and made their artifices fruitful in gaining other men’s wives. The attendant maids in the harems, the princes (rājakumāraka), the citizens and the ladies were perfectly enchanted by him. Thus when the citizens became averse to virtuous rites and actions, evil reigned supreme. [...]”.
