It may also refer to the region where Krsna grew up as a young boy (Vrajabhúmi, the land of Vraja). ''Bálakerá'' means boys. So, ''vrajabálakerá'' could mean the boys of Vraja, or it could mean cowherds. As the boys of Vraja were also cowherds, the distinction is almost pedantic. Either way, ''vrajabálakerá'' refers to the childhood friends of Krsna. Another word for cowherd is ''gopa'' (গোপ), the feminine form being ''gopii'' (গোপী). The term ''gopii'' has become synonymous with ''devotee'' (both feminine and masculine). So, here, the cowherds may be deemed to be either masculine or feminine; and they may also be deemed to be devotees – devotees of Krsna, also known as Gopal (''Gopál''), which again literally means cowherd. Finally, as with the English language, in Bengali, some words like ''brother'' (or ''man'') are used occasionally in a gender-neutral fashion.|group="nb"}} | ||
