³ For details see Vin. ii. 253 ff.; also A. iv. 274 ff. There was some question which arose later as to the procedure of Pajāpatī’s ordination, which was not formal. When the nuns discovered this some of them refused to hold the uposatha with her. But the Buddha declared that he himself had ordained her and that all was in order (DhA. iv. 149). Her upasampadā consisted in acquiescing in the eight conditions laid down for nuns (Sp. i. 242).
