[[Vata]], [[pitta]] and [[kapha]]- these three [[dosha]] are always present in the body of all living beings. The learned should know about their normal or abnormal states. [48]

Any decrease in ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'' is thus indicated by a decrease in their natural functions or increase in functions of opposite ''dosha''. (this is indicated by the properties associated with any of these ''doshas'', for example, reduced unctuousness indicates a decrease in ''kapha'', etc). [52]

Conversely, any aggravation in ''dosha'' is indicated by an increase in their normal functions. Thus normalcy, decrease and aggravation of ''dosha'' are examined. [53]
