There is an eternal union between the two doshas pertaining to mind, viz. rajas and tamas. Tamas cannot manifest its actions without rajas. [9]

Characteristic features of primary and secondary (subordinate) diseases are as follows:  

Characteristic features of primary and secondary (subordinate) diseases are as follows:  

The primary disease manifests its own symptoms independently; this morbid condition is caused by factors specific to the manifestation of the disease. This can be cured by the therapies prescribed for that particular disease. The subordinate disease is characterized by opposite features. If all the three doshas are primarily vitiated at a time, the condition is known as sannipata. If only two of the doshas are vitiated, it is called samsarga. Depending upon the primary and subordinate nature of doshas, they are of many types. Considering such characteristic features, physicians attribute various names (like jwara or fever and atisara or diarrhea) to different conditions caused by doshas and diseases. (11)

Depending upon their intensity, agnis (factors responsible for digestion and metabolism) located in the body of human beings can be classified under four categories, viz. tikshna (severe), manda (low), sama (normal) and vishama (irregular). The tikshna type is capable of tolerating all types of irregularities whereas the manda type is of opposite nature, i.e. even a small irregularity will impair its functioning. The sama or balanced type of agni gets impaired even by minor irregularities; it maintains its normalcy so long as there is no irregularity. The irregular type of agni, as opposed to sama or balanced type, sometimes gets impaired and sometime it does not get impaired by irregularities.

These four types of agni occur in the four types of individuals. In individuals having vata, pitta and kapha in their balanced and normal state, the agnis are regular or balanced. In the case of individuals having the dominance of vata constitution, due to the affliction of the site of agni by vata, their agnis are irregular. In the case of individuals having the dominance of pitta, the agnis are sharp. Similarly, in the case of individuals having the dominance of kapha in the constitution, the agnis are mild due to the affliction of the site of agni by kapha. (12)
