What is the historical and traditional background?
The worship of Gopala as a distinct form of Krishna is traceable to the early Puranic period and was further developed by the Bhakti movement, with figures such as Jayadeva and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu deepening its prominence. Ashtottara Sata Namavalis are a common form of devotional compilation in Hinduism, typically drawn from Puranic accounts and the epithets found in praise hymns. The exact date and authorship of this namavali are unknown, but the practice of 108-name recitation is central to Vaishnava worship across multiple sampradayas.
