From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Śrī Kṛṣṇa used to bring the cows (go) and calves to this ghāṭa to drink water.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
It is said that after Krishna had successfully subdued the poisonous snake Kaliya Naga, feeling immense gratitude that Krishna was saved from the coils of the great serpent, Nanda Maharaja came to this place and gave away a large number of cows in charity to the brahmanas. (According to some commentators this occurred at Gopala Ghata). There is now a goshala under the care of Iskcon next to this same ghata.
