Hindi (romanized): kuch samay ke liye bhartiya baudhon main mahayan alpsankhyak the, lekin yah sankhya dhire-dhire badhati gai, or jab saatvin shatabdi main hwain tsang bharat pahunche, lagbhag sabhi bhikshuon main se aadhe mahayanavaadee ho chuke the.
English: Mahayana remained a minority among Indian Buddhists for some time, growing slowly until about half of all monks encountered by Xuanzang in 7th-century India were Mahayanists.
