In South India too, sons of kings were called rajaputras (as well our own Tamil or other regional word for it). Used in its old original meaning as king's son. In the epics it does not refer to the particular Kshatriya tribe called Rajputs, but is used to refer to kings' sons of all Kshatriya communities, from what I understand.
Rama, Lakshmana and Buddha were all sons of Hindu kings, hence they were rajaputras. Parikshit was the crown prince of the Pandava line, being the son of Abhimanyu. So the term also applies to him, him being a son of royalty as well.
It's what Ishwa said in post 147.
