Scriptural reference:

There, in a grove of kadamba trees, he found a handsome young man whose body was very tender, with the dress and accoutrements of a cowherd. Mistaking this person for his worshipable Deity, the brahmana joyfully called out "O Gopala!" and fell to the ground like a rod to offer respects.

(Brihad-Bhagavatamrita 2.1.91-92)
