The first of the known Telugu Kavyas 'Sreemadaandhramahaabhaaratamu' written by the 'Aadikavi' of Telugu Nannaya begins with the  following mangalas'loka: 


श्रीवाणीगिरिजाश्चिराय दधतो वक्षोमुखाङ्गेषु ये
लोकानां स्थितिमावहन्त्यविहतां स्त्रीपुंसयोगोद्भवाम्।
ते वेदत्रयमूर्तयस्त्रिपुरुषास्संपूजिता वस्सुरै
र्भूयासुः पुरुषोत्तमांबुजभवश्रीकन्धराश्श्रेयसे॥

Anvaya:

ये वेदत्रयमूर्तयः त्रिपुरुषाः पुरुषोत्तमांबुजभवश्रीकन्धराः श्रीवाणीगिरिजाः वक्षोमुखांगेषु चिराय दधतः लोकानां स्त्रीपुंसयोगाद्भवां स्थितिं आवहंति ते सुरैः संपूजिताः  वः श्रेयसे भूयासुः । 

The triad of Persons (the trimoorti ), embodiments of the three Vedas, VishNu, Brahma and Shiva, who  having Lakshmi Saraswati and Parvati eternally in their chest, mouth and body respectively , bestow the existence (similar to their own) that is born of the communion of the masculine and feminine (principles) to the worlds (too)  , (those three) that get worshipped by suras , may they be there for our well being.

There is also an entry in Oxford Bibliographies entitled Gender and Sexuality
by Anna Pokazanyeva that is an excellent resource if your colleague has access to that site.

Dear Shyam,

in such a case, a normal starting point would be any standard reference work. I would recommend e.g. Brill's Encyclopedia of Hinduism. The main article on this topic, Karen Pechilis' entry "Gender" (vol. 4, pp. 788-805), has an extensive and up-to-date bibliography. Plus this theme is discussed in several other entries in this Encyclopedia (they are easily to be found using an index).

Best,
Lubomir

Dear all,

This is a question from a colleague who is not on the list. This
colleague teaches a course on Sex and Gender theory and is interested in
articles that addresses the topic from differing cultural vantages. I
was asked about what was available on the topic that discusses the issue
from the perspective of the Indian tradition.  I didn't know what to
say. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks,

Shyam
