    Rajashekhara Dasa

    From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:

    This is one of the famous dig-pala Deities established by Vajranabha Maharaja that protect the holy dhama. The word ‘dig’ means ‘directions’ and ‘pala’ means protector. The other dig-pala Deities established by Vajranabha include: Bhuteshwara in Mathura, Kameshwara in Kamyavana, and Gopishwara in Vrindavana. Sometimes Nandishwara at Nandagrama is included in the list of dig-pala Deities but according to historical accounts, Nandishwara was not established by Vajranabha. This Deity of Lord Shiva is known to local Vrajavasis as Chakaleshvara Mahadeva, which is a corruption of the name Chakreshwvara.
