Why does the progeny becomes ''dwireta'' (hermaphrodite), ''pavanendriya'' (devoid of semen), ''samskaravahi'' (one whose semen pathway is obstructed by ''vata''), ''narashanda'' (male sterility), ''narīshanda'' (female sterility), ''vakrī'' (curved), ''irshyabhirati'' (one with mixoscopia) and ''vatikashandaka'' (one whose testicles are destroyed due to ''vayu'' and ''agni'' (''pitta'')) [17]

In case the zygote is formed by sperm and ovum equally or is damaged, the progeny has characters of both female and male, resulting in ''dwireta'' (hermaphrodite). ''Vayu'' by afflicting the ''shukrashaya'' (site of semen) of the fetus causes ''pavanendriya'' (devoid of semen).[18]

Due to the mother’s lack of desire (for coitus) or complicated posture (during coitus) and also due to ''shukra'' deficiency of the father, (the progeny) is born with ''vakrī'' (with curved organ). ''Irshyabhirati''(one with mixoscopia) is caused if the parents are subdued by jealousy and have mild passion.[20]

When the testicles get destroyed by aggravation of ''vayu'' and ''agni'', ''vatika shandaka'' is caused. These eight types of genetic sexual disorders described above (''dwireta, pawanendriya,'' etc)could be the consequences of past deeds.[21]

What are the earliest signs of conception? What signs and symptoms indicate a female, male or hermaphrodite foetus developing in the womb? What is the reason of resemblance of the child to a particular person? [22]

Salivation, heaviness, malaise, drowsiness, horripilation, distress in cardiac region, contentment, fertilization in the uterus —these are the earliest signs of conception.||23||

Activities mostly to the left side of the mother, desire for man, feminine dreams, as well as feminine drinks, foods, conducts and activities, foetus stationed in the left side of the womb, gravid uterus that is not round in shape, profuse lactation in the left breast—these indicate the female foetus. Signs- symptoms contrary to the above indicate the male foetus, while a mixture of the above indicate those of a hermaphrodite. A child resembles that person to whom the mother’s mind is attracted to during conception.||25-26||

Foetus is made up of four set of four ''mahabhutas'' (i.e., of all except ''akasha''), i.e., one set each from the mother, the father, nutrition from the mother, and the self. Out of these, factors the past deeds of the soul and the parents significantly influence the physical and psychological traits of the progeny. Like-wise, resemblance is also determined by the deeds of past life.||27||
