बीजात् समांशादुपतप्तबीजात् स्त्रीपुंसलिङ्गी भवति द्विरेताः। शुक्राशयं गर्भगतस्य हत्वा करोति वायुः पवनेन्द्रियत्वम् ॥१८॥

In case the zygote is formed by equal dominance of sperm and ovum or by impaired gamates, 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).
