Strīliṅga (स्त्रीलिङ्ग) refers to the “female gender”.—[...] One of the meanings of the word ‘liṅga’ is ‘gender’. The word ‘strīliṅga’ means ‘female gender’, ‘puṃliṅga’, the ‘male gender’ and ‘napuṃsakaliṅga’ is the neuter (lit. 'not male') gender. The Goddess who is praised as both the Yoni and the Liṅga embodies in her essential transcendental identity the supreme Śāmbhava state, the Neuter which, because it is without gender, is free to be both genders, male and female—the god and the goddess. The Liṅga is not in this context a marker of gender, it is a ‘sign’ of the deity’s presence. The Neuter, devoid of gender, is the ‘sign’ of both the male deity and the female.
