तेषां गुणानां साम्यं चेत्‌ तदाहु: स्वस्थलक्षणम्‌ । तेषामन्यतमोत्सेके विधानमुपदिश्यते,इन गुणोंकी समानता हो तो यह मानसिक स्वास्थ्यका लक्षण है। इनमेंसे किसी एककी वृद्धि होनेपर उसके निवारणका उपाय बताया जाता है

teṣāṃ guṇānāṃ sāmyaṃ cet tad āhuḥ svastha-lakṣaṇam | teṣām anyatamotseke vidhānam upadiśyate ||

ఆ గుణముల సమత్వము ఉంటే అది శుభ్రమైన, ఆరోగ్యమైన మనస్సు యొక్క లక్షణమని చెప్పబడును. కాని వాటిలో ఏదైనా ఒకటి అతిగా పెరిగినచో, దానిని నియంత్రించి శమింపజేయు విధానము ఉపదేశించబడును.

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.
