| Abstract | The present article critically reviews four theories regarding the foundation of the order of nuns: (I) the suggestion that the account of the foundation of the nuns' order was devised only after the division between the Sthavira and the Mahāsāghika schools; (II) the assumption that an alternative account of this event can be found in the Maitrisimit; (III) the conjecture that nuns were in existence before Mahāprajāpatī Gautamī went forth; and (IV) the hypothesis that the order of nuns came into being only after the Buddha had passed away.
