For women and effeminate men, half of that (i.e., the time and style of the superior Gait) should be applied. The Gaits and movements prescribed for men of superior, middling, and inferior types are to be applied accordingly.

No Sauṣṭhava (refined grace) or fixed measurement is to be applied in their case; the third type, known by the name *napuṃsaka* (hermaphrodite), should be represented accordingly.

Abandoning the natural (original) character of a man, the feminine gait should be applied in such a case. The appropriate reversal of gait should be represented when a man, woman, or hermaphrodite changes role.
