ग्वाला (संस्कृत: गोपाल) भारत में यादव (अहीर) जाति का पर्याय है।[1][2][3][4] अहीरों मे प्रमुखत: तीन वर्ग है- ग्वालावंश, यदुवंश तथा नंदवंश।[5][6][7][8][9][10]

व्युत्पत्ति

ग्वाला/ग्वाल शब्द का अर्थ गोपाल या "गायों का रक्षक" होता है, अमरकोश, एक प्राचीन संस्कृत पाठ उन्हें आभीर के पर्याय के रूप में मानता है।[11][12][13][14]

यादव (अहीर) क्षत्रियों को गायों की रक्षा व पालन के कारण गोप व गोपाल की संज्ञा दी गयी। उस अवधि में (500 ईसा पूर्व से 1 ईसा पूर्व तक) जब भारत में पालीभाषा प्रचलित थी, गोपाल शब्द को संशोधित किया गया था एवं गोपाल' शब्द को 'गोआल' में बदल दिया गया और आगे संशोधन करके इसे 'ग्वाल' का रूप दे दिया गया। एक अज्ञात कवि ने एक श्लोक में इसका उपयुक्त वर्णन किया है कि "गोपालन के कारण यादव 'गोप' कहलाते हैं, और 'गोपाल' कहलाने के बाद, वे 'ग्वाल' कहलाते हैं।[15]

Abhira Kshatriyas were named Gope when they protected the cows, and Gopal when they tended and grazed the cows. 23 In the period (from 500 B.C. to 1 B.C.) when the Pali language was prevalent in India, the word 'Gopal was modified to 'Goal' and by further modification it took the form of Gwal. This has been aptly described by an unknown poet 24 in a verse that" due to rearing cattle, the Yadav are called ' Gope', and after being called' Gopal', they are called' Gwal' (Singh, 1945).
