Gopala Dynasty
Gopala Dynasty (Gopal Bansha) was a first dynasty of ancient Nepal founded by Gopa (Yadava) in the Kathmandu Valley.[1][2][3] The Kings of Gopala Bansha ruled over Nepal for 505 years. It was replaced by Ahirs (Yadava) of Mahispala Dynasty.[4][5][6]
Origin and History[edit]
According to legendary accounts, the early dynasty of Nepal was the Gopala Dynasty established by Gopa, who presumably ruled for about five centuries. They are said to have been followed by the Mahispala Dynasty established by Abhira.[7][8][9][10]
Another belief was that Gopalvamsi and Mahispalvamsi belonged to the same dynasty and they were divided into two on the basis of their profession.[11] Amarakosha gives Abhira as synonym for Gopa.[12]
