Language: English

c7.53

The Majjhima Nikāya (Vol. I, p. 231) tells us of the Vajjis and the Mallas as forming saṃghas and ganas, that is, clans governed by organised corporations. The Mahāvastu states that there were twice 84,000 Licchavirājās residing within the city of Vesālī. The commentaries on the Cullakāliṅga Jātaka (Jāt., III, p. 1), and the Ekapaṇna Jātaka (Jāt., I, p. 504) speak of 7,707 rājās of Vesālī.
