[Kumāra]jīva says: That country has no king; only five hundred householders govern the state affairs together. Here he is called 'leader' because he is supported by the community. [Seng]zhao says: The country of Vaiśālī has no sovereign; there are only five hundred householders who manage the affairs of the state together. Candrachattra was revered and supported by the community, hence he is called 'leader'. From this point onward, they all assembled after smelling the fragrance.
