  Comments:
Only marked [2] as rare, because if you want to say "appearance of the laity", I guess this is how you'd do it. (It's no more rare than what you want to express)

But I'm sure [1] is not exactly common either.

I only have the daijs sentry, which says 僧でない.  Absent evidence to the contrary, I suspect any gloss of "vulgar" is misplaced in modern English.  Likely this was intended with the dated meaning: "characteristic of or belonging to ordinary people."  This will not be a common interpretation of vulgar today.
