Tattvärthasūtra
neither men nor women, but as neuter-sex (napumsaka). As a rule, the infernal beings and the spontaneously generated beings are neutersex (napumsaka) only. These do not enjoy even the slightest pleasure which the men and women derive from sweet sound, smell, colour (form), taste and touch.
If it is determined thus, it would imply that the mundane beings other than these are of the three sexes. Those who are not neuter-sex (napumsaka) are mentioned next.
न देवाः ॥५१॥
[ देवाः ] देव [ न ] नपुंसक नहीं होते, अर्थात् देवों के पुरुषलिंग और देवियों के स्त्रीलिंग होता है।
The celestial beings (deva) are not neuter-sex (napumsaka).
The celestial beings (deva) enjoy rare pleasures appertaining to the two sexes, male and female, on account of the rise of auspicious (subha) name-karma (nāmakarma). Hence, there is no neuter-sex (napumsaka) among them.
How many genders are there among the rest?

[ शेषाः ] शेष के - गर्भज मनुष्य और तिर्यंच - [ त्रिवेदाः ] तीनों वेद वाले होते हैं।
