    गोः means Cow, Bhoomi and Veda. These are the 3 primary meanings. So Gopala means - गाम् or गाः (objective case in 2nd vibhakti - in ekavachanam or bahuvachanam) पाति (maintains) - गां पाति इति गोपालः or गाः पाति इति गोपालः । In vigraha vaakyam Ekavachanam means protector of Bhoomi and Veda (Veda was one in Dwapara yuga). Bahuvachanam means protector of Cows.

KIRON KRISHNAN Yesterday we had discussion over who can be your guru, and your answer was our father who initiated us through Upanayana. Also I had a similar doubt regarding "How to know ones Sva Shaka", for which Abhivadhana was the only answer. Joining the bigger "devil, the Caste System". I recollect KIRON KRISHNAN mentioning this not to be a "Caste by birth". Now connecting these dots, if caste system is not intended to be by birth; its crucial for anyone interested in learning vedas that he knows Sva-Shaka. The Abhivadana seems to be not solving the problem right here, as it is coming out of a lineage. The fathers shaka is passed onto the son. Hows does sva-shaka and caste system fit into the puzzle? Please enlighten.
