Gorochana (transliterated from Sanskrit: गोरोचन "cattle-light"; also Standard Tibetan: (gi-wang) gi-wang) are gallstones found in cattle (Sanskrit: गो go), such as the bulls, cows, buffaloes, and yaks. Its presence in the animals is indicated by the snoring and other nocturnal sounds made by the animals in their sleep.[1] Its equivalent in Sinitic culture is calculus bovis. The vernacular Hindi and Bengali names are the same as the Sanskrit.
