In the Mūlasarvāstivādin tradition, nuns have eight “solemn duties.” In his Saṃskṛtāsaṃskṛtaviniścaya, Daśabalaśrīmitra gives them as (1) women must receive entry into the renunciate order and ordination into the nunhood from the order of monks (in addition to receiving them from the order of nuns); (2) every fortnight, nuns must seek advice and instructions from the order of monks; (3) nuns must not undertake a rains retreat in a place devoid of monks; (4) a nun who has pledged to settle for the rains must confess to both saṅghas the “three grounds”‍—infractions she has seen, heard, or suspected during the rains; (5) nuns must not accuse or remind a monk of a lapse of pure conduct, view, observance, or livelihood; (6) a nun must not show anger toward a monk; (7) a nun who has lapsed in her solemn duties must serve a fortnight penance under both saṅghas; (8) a nun ordained for one hundred years must speak respectfully to, act with honor and palms pressed toward, and stand up together with a monk ordained for one day (Orgyan Nordrang 2008, p. 1763).
