Among various servants employed in the houses there were kammakāras, ghodas (caṭṭa), pesas (messengers), dāsas and govālas (cowherds). They were apparently not so enthusiastic about religion. It is said that often they made fun of the Jain monks. There were quarrels between the servants and the sādhu and instigated by the servants the householder sometimes turned the sādhu out of the house.⁴
