COMMUNITY OF THE FAITHFUL
59
Three hundred and fifty thousand nuns, headed by Brāhini, followed the World TEACHER. No less than three huudred thousand householders who were training themselves by the observance of vows and other forms of disciplinary processes worshipped the Lord. The number of the picus female followers was five hundred thousand, in round figures.
Some of the members of the animal kingdom who recollected their past lives followed the Lord, several of them even adopting the minor vows of the laity.
