Entry 5872, Page 216, Col. 2

(gopA, gopA)
Gopā¦ (also Gopī and Gopikā, qq.v.; in Pali a Sākiya girl named Gopī or Gopikā is known, but not identified with the Bodhisattva's wife), n. of a Śākya girl, who in LV and Suv becomes the wife of the Bodhisattva (in most other texts he marries Yaśodharā, q.v.): LV 142.8 ff. (daughter of Daṇḍapāṇi); 157.4 ff.; 194.7 ff.; 230.3 ff.; 237.19; Suv 200.8; in Mvy 1071 Gopī or Gopā, named next to Yaśodharā, but there is no reason to assume their identification (Mironov reads Gopā without v.l.); in Gv 385.6 ff. Gopā occurs as a Śākya-kanyā, who in 420.19 is the daughter of Daṇḍapāṇi (like the Gopā of LV), but there is here no suggestion that she married the Bodhisat- tva, tho she mentions him 419.20 (as well as Vairocana, 396.23).
