Mana/satva (mind) is said to be tantraka (technical operator) as the one who is preraka (inspirer) or dharaka (owner). Mana is the initiator of all activity but it can carry out its action in conjunction with atma only. If mana is weak it is unable to tolerate the symptoms of disease and he/she exaggerates those. If the doctor makes the mistake of considering the inferior mental strength of patient with severe disease depending on presentation of symptoms and gives strong medicine then he may end up with complication. Symptoms of severely diseased and mildly diseased are mentioned in 7th chapter of Vimansthan.

''Mana''/''satva'' (mind) is said to be ''tantraka'' (technical operator) as the one who is ''preraka'' (inspirer) or ''dharaka'' (owner). ''Mana'' is the initiator of all activity but it can carry out its action in conjunction with ''atma'' only. If ''mana'' is weak it is unable to tolerate the symptoms of disease and he/she exaggerates those. If the doctor makes the mistake of considering the inferior mental strength of patient with severe disease depending on presentation of symptoms and gives strong medicine then he may end up with complication.

The mental status examination has a special importance in today’s medical practice. The physician has to modulate interaction with the patient, dose of medicine, potency of medicine considering the psychology of the patient. The physician who communicates better with the patient helps to heal disease naturally.
