Govinda

Person

राजा दिसंपति का भण्डारी या कोषाध्यक्ष, जिसका पुत्र जोतिपाल उसके बाद पदासीन हुआ और महागोविंद के नाम से जाना गया; ‘गोविंद’ प्रतीत होता है कि व्यक्तिगत नाम न होकर एक पदवी थी।

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.
