Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
On Mathurā’s inner parikramā path, south of Viśrāma–ghāṭa, is the temple of Gatāśrama–Nārāyaṇa. Close to the present day Satīburja, in a lane to the right, stands the temple of Carcikā–devī. Near the temple of Raṅgeśvara Mahādeva, on the eastern side, lies Sapta–sāmudrī–kūpa, “the well of seven oceans”. Then, under the railway line leading to the main railway station in Mathurā is Śiva–tāla. The road to Madhuvana also begins from here.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This is a popular temple with the local people of Mathura and was established in 1867 by the followers of the Ramanuja sampradaya. The Deity in the temple is a four-armed form of Lord Vishnu known as Gatashram Narayana. The temple is located near to Vishrama Ghata on a hillock known as Gatashrama-tila; one of the famous hillocks of Mathura. In the Adi-Varaha Purana it says. “Hey Devi! Vishranti-tirtha is renowned throughout the three worlds. A person becomes worshipable in Vaikuntha Dhama if he takes bath here. Lord Gatashrama (Narayana) is situated here in this beautiful place. By His darshana one achieves the results from bathing in all other holy places.” From this verse it can be seen that Vishrama Ghata and Lord Gatashrama Narayana are synonymous with one-another.
