Tattvarthasutra
There are three types, which was mentioned earlier while indicating the number of the qualities such as Udayaka. The three genders are as follows: masculine, feminine, and neutral. The other name for genders is 'Veda' as well. These three Vedas are of two types in terms of substance and quality. The sign of the substance-Veda is the mark of an object, and the quality-Veda represents certain desires and wishes. 1. The sign by which a male is identified is the substance male-Veda, and the desire for the happiness of a female is the quality female-Veda. 2. The means to identify a female is the substance female-Veda, and the desire for the happiness of a male is the quality male-Veda. 3. The one that has some signs of female and some signs of male is the substance neutral-Veda; and the desire for the happiness of both male and female is the quality neutral-Veda. The value-Veda is in the form of a Pudgalic shape, which is the result of the rise of naming karma. The Mavetra is a type of Manovikara, which is the result of the rise of Mohaniya karma. There is a relationship between substance-Veda and quality-Veda, and the means and accommodation.
Note: Hell and the state of complete delusion are associated with the neutral-Veda. Divine beings lack a neutral-Veda; that is, the remaining Vedas are present in them. Other beings, such as those born in the womb and the three types of beings, can have all three Vedas.
