==Keso Gopal Pundit==<br />
Keso Gopal Pandit (ਕੇਸੋ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਪੰਡਿਤ) is a qualitative name used for a [[Sikh]] in Ramkali Sadu. Here Pundit is not singular but plural. Following is stanza where this name is present:<br />
<br />
ਕੇਸੋ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਪੰਡਿਤ ਸਦਿਅਹੁ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਕਥਾ ਪੜਹਿ ਪੁਰਾਣੁ ਜੀਉ ॥<br />
<br />
Traditional commentators thought it to be some historical person during time of [[Guru Amar Dass]].<ref>[http://www.thesikhencyclopedia.com/biographies/hindu-bhagats-and-poets-and-punjabi-officials/kesho-gopal-pandit sikhencyclopedia.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502002721/http://www.thesikhencyclopedia.com/biographies/hindu-bhagats-and-poets-and-punjabi-officials/kesho-gopal-pandit }}</ref> However, linguistically, experts agree 'Keso Gopal Pandit' refers to a learned scholar (Pundit) who has extensive knowledge and wisdom.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Singh |first1=Sahib|title=Guru Granth Sahib Darpan |format=Exegesis |language=pa |location=India |quote=ਕੇਸੋ ਗੋਪਾਲ (ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ) ਦੇ ਪੰਡਿਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਦ ਘੱਲਿਓ, ਜੋ (ਆ ਕੇ) ਅਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖ ਦੀ ਕਥਾ ਵਾਰਤਾ-ਰੂਪ ਪੁਰਾਣ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ। }}</ref> In Gurmat, Gurmukhi have knowledge of Keso/Gopal. Others believe Guru Amar Das ji to be simply asking to invite 'such a learned scholar(s)', who can read the sermon of the eternal lord, har har.<br />
