This temple was restored by Pakistan govt. recently... Originally shared by Sacred Hinduism Katasraj Mandir in Pakistan. Katasraj Temple is dedicated to Shiva. The temple has existed since the days of Mahabharata and the Pandava brothers spent a substantial part of their exile here. Share >> http://sacredhinduism.com/
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.
