व्याधि-गुण-साम्योपदेशः | Discourse on Affliction, Guṇa-Equilibrium, and the Inner Battle
तेषां गुणानां साम्यं चेत् तदाहु: स्वस्थलक्षणम् । तेषामन्यतमोत्सेके विधानमुपदिश्यते
teṣāṃ guṇānāṃ sāmyaṃ cet tad āhuḥ svastha-lakṣaṇam | teṣām anyatamotseke vidhānam upadiśyate ||
সেই গুণসমূহ সমতাত থাকিলে তাকেই সুস্থ আৰু স্থিৰ মনৰ লক্ষণ বুলি কোৱা হয়। কিন্তু সিহঁতৰ মাজত কোনো এটা গুণ অধিক হ’লে, তাক সংযম আৰু শমন কৰাৰ বিধি উপদেশ দিয়া হয়।

Educational Q&A
Mental well-being is characterized by balance among the inner qualities (guṇas). When one quality becomes dominant or excessive, one should apply a deliberate corrective discipline to restore equilibrium.
Vāyudeva is giving didactic instruction, defining the sign of a healthy state (svastha-lakṣaṇa) as the evenness of qualities, and indicating that specific remedies are taught when any one quality rises excessively.
