Govinda

Person

The steward or treasurer of King Disampati, whose son Jotipāla succeeded him and became known as Mahāgovinda; ‘Govinda’ appears to have been a title rather than a personal name.

The steward or treasurer of King Disampati.

He had a son, Jotipāla, who succeeded him after his death and came to be known as Mahāgovinda (D.ii.230 f; Mtu.iii.204).

“Govinda” was evidently a title and not a name.

See Govindiya.
