Mind, soul and body- these three are like a tripod. By their conjunction, existence of the living world is sustained. It is the substratum for everything (which presently exists).

Knowledge of Ayurveda is promulgated for the sake of this (conjugation) only. [46-47]

Dravya, when is supplemented with sense organs, form the sentient being, while without them would be insentient. [48]
