A person changing sex three times has no chance of growing up in this livelihood. When a change of male sex into a female sex takes place at the time when the Bhikṣu is taking upasampad, then the changed-Bhikṣu has to receive the official karma from a Bhikṣuṇi, because this sexual change is obvious.

If the usual process of going through three stages-that of a householder, of an ascetic and of a Bhikṣu is not adopted, if the upadhyāya is not entreated, or if the obstacles are not enquired into (S. 629-30), or if a man imitates a woman, or a woman imitates a man, there is no absence of samvara (S. 632).
