The author remarks: The court deliberations merely sought to distinguish monks from nuns, without knowing the vinaya rule that a nun receiving ordination must rely upon the great monks (mahāsaṅgha) and cannot set up an altar to transmit it herself. This was a temporary remedy for an abuse and cannot be taken as a standard rule. Today it is no longer used.
