The document discusses concepts of Purusha and Prakriti in Ayurveda philosophy. It describes Purusha as the supreme self or pure consciousness, without attributes, while Prakriti is the source of the material world. Originally the three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) are in perfect balance in Prakriti, but under the influence of Purusha, disequilibrium and evolution occur. The document outlines how Prakriti evolves into the elements, senses, mind, and three doshas that make up the human body. It notes Ayurveda views the balanced interaction of body elements, doshas, dhatus, malas, mind and

- 5. At the liberation of the last purusha from prakriti, prakriti will return to its primoridal state. Its manifold appearance depends on our ignorance that we basically belong to it. But with proper knowledge and discrimination one can use prakriti for one's liberation. Purusha has no attributes except that "it is" and that "it knows." It has no intelligence (this is located in buddhi.) and it is without desire. It is pure freedom. Originally, the three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas) are in perfect equilibrium in prakriti. But under purusha's influence disequilibrium and evolution begin.
- 6. Prakriti is the source of the world of "becoming" (change and motion) and sensation. Purusha represents true being: inactive, unchanging, and pure. Sattvaguna is the "stuff" of consciousness and all higher mental states (associated with Hindu god Vishnu and the goddess Lakshmi); Rajasguna is the source of activity, sensation, and emotion (associated with Brahma and the goddess Sarasvati); and Tamasguna is the source of resistance, inertia, and dissolution (associated with Shiva and the goddess Kali).
- 7. Purush: Supreme Self, Pure consciousness, Inactive, Unchanging, A passive witness and multiple. Prakiti: Pure objectivity, phenomenal reality, Non- conscious and one multiprakiti in equilibrium. Both more transcendental
- 8. पुरि शरििे शेते इतत पुरुषः--अमिकोष-१/४/२९ The mind for its part internally constructs a representation of objects of the external world with the data supplied by the senses. The ego contributes personal perspective to knowledge claims. The intellect contributes understanding to knowledge. The puruṣa adds consciousness to the result: it is the mere witness of the intellectual processes. The puruṣa is the lord of the house, the tripartite psyche is the door-keeper and the senses are the doors.
- 9. The relation of the unmanifest and manifest nature is somewhat vague the unmanifest was the initial state of Prakṛti, where the guṇa-s were in equilibrium. Due to the effect of the puruṣa-s this changed and evolved the manifold universe that we see, the manifest. This view nicely conforms to the standard Hindu image of cosmic cycles of creation and destruction; but it is problematic logically (without supposing God) and Īśvarakṛṣṇa – without directly opposing it – does not seem to accept it. He says that we do not grasp the unmanifest because it is subtle, not because it does not exist; and that implies that it exists also at present, as an imperceptible homogenous substrate of the world. प्रसन्नात्मेन्द्न्िय स्वस्थ इत्यभिदियते

- 16. No body requires disease as it is obstacle and causes the distraction of manas. All attributes, actions etc. of bhutas are witnessed by the soul, who alone is knower of all things.
- 17. Purusha combines of the six elements ie five mahabhutas and consciousness. This combination of six elements comes under the perview of the science of medicine. शड्धातूज्सस्तू पुरुषः िोगाः षड् िातुजास्तथा - चिक सु २५/१५
- 18. All actions are performed for knowledge, happiness, ignorance, misery, truth, life and ownership established here. All the sources of knowledge of variou kinds establish the causality of purusha. स एशः कममपुरुषः चचककत्साचधक्रु तः सुश्रुत. शा १/१६
- 19. The Purusha is like a tripod, consists of mind, soul and body is the subject matter of Ayurveda. The subject matter of chikitsa the body(human) is called chikitsa purusha शरििेइन्द्न्ियस्त्वात्मासम्योगो धारि न्द्जविवतम तनत्यगश्चानुबन्धशच पयामयैिायुरुच्येते चिक. सुत्र. १/४२

Purusha is combination of 24 elements is born out of prompted by liking and dislikings originited from ignorance.
- 21. These 24 elements are responsible for life. The soul is regarded as a cause of creation of purusha. Purusha were not there, nothing would happen. Some other type of medical sciences may not accept the existance of soul but in ideal health of ayurveda accepts the happiness of soul(Atma) as an essential factor. Sympathy is the important factor for any pathy of treatment and without the sympathy all pathies are useless. The sympathy is the quality available only in living and cultured organism.
- 22. Only according to Samkya darashan philisopy describes about the 25 combination of purusha. Manas is added in this condition.

- 24. The previous two types of Purusha Samyoga purusha(Ekadhatuja purusha) and shad-dhatvatmaka purusha being free from the gross body, neither do any work nor can enjoy the fruits of their actions. Their treatment is also not possible in the absence of gross physical body. So the empirical soul or chikitsa purusha is accepted as the aim or purpose of Ayurveda system.
