Mahavir ke samavasaran (samavśaran) mein kul milakar 4-purush-sang ki poorn vikas yeh mani jaati hai:

• Ganadharas (11 mukhya chel-sadhu)
• Munis (14,000)
• Sadhvis/nuns (36,000)
• Sravaks (159,000) aur Sravikas (318,000) = kul milakar bahut bade sankhya ke bhakts

Yeh sankhyaen Jain dharma ki paramparaon mein Mahavir ki pravachan mein shamil sabhi shramano ki kul sankhya ke roop mein varnit hoti hain. Iske alawa Ganadharas ki antarang netritva Mahavir ke dharma ko sangrahit karne ke liye kiya tha; in ganadharon ki sankhya 11 mani jaati hai.

Dharm parampra mein Digambar aur Shvetambar dono hi is samavśaran ki mukhya vyavastha ko itihaasik roop se yahi maana jaata hai, ki 11 Ganadharas the aur kul charaṇ (muni, aryika, sravak, sravika) ki poorn sangathan thi.
