=='''c. Sattva pariksha (assessment of quality of excellence of mind)'''==
 
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sattva pariksha assesses the quality of excellence of mind imparted by extent of dominance of sattva guna. Mind (manas) is composed of three attributes (triguna) viz. sattva, rajas and tamas. These impart three types of mental constitutions – Shuddha (pure) (sattvika), rajasika and tamasika. [Cha.Sa. Sharira Sthana 4/36]. Sattvika guna is full of auspiciousness and is considered the healthy (amala) state of mind. Rajasika guna imparts momentum in terms of furious temperament. Whereas tamas guna promotes inertia and moral ignorance. Hence, rajas and tamas are considered inauspicious and called manas dosha. Triguna are present in dynamically varying proportions at any given time and influenced by body (i.e. tridosha) and vice versa. [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa. Vimana Sthana 4/8]. Optimum levels of sattva guna are essential for promoting desired physical and mental strength irrespective of morphological features. [Cha.Sa. Vimana Sthana 8/119]</p>
