After listening to Kapya, lord Punarvasu Atreya spoke, “All of you have dealt with the various aspects of the subject very well, only with the exception that any generalized statement on the topic has not been made.  Actually, all the three doshas (i.e. vata, pitta and kapha) in their natural states help in keeping the individual’s sensory faculties normal while enhancing the strength, complexion, happiness and life span of an individual. Just as the proper accomplishment of virtuous deeds (dharma), wealth (artha) and desires (kāma) lead to freedom from the cycle of birth and death (mokśha), similarly the proper regulation of all these three leads to immense happiness in this world and beyond. On the other hand their vitiation or aggravation leads to undesirable and disastrous effects in the lives of creatures just like the three vitiated seasons. ”

After listening to Kapya, lord Punarvasu Atreya spoke, “All of you have dealt with the various aspects of the subject very well, only with the exception that any generalized statement on the topic has not been made.  Actually, all the three ''doshas'' (i.e. ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'') in their natural states help in keeping the individual’s sensory faculties normal while enhancing the strength, complexion, happiness and life span of an individual. Just as the proper accomplishment of virtuous deeds (''dharma''), wealth (''artha'') and desires (''kāma'') lead to freedom from the cycle of birth and death (''mokśha''), similarly the proper regulation of all these three leads to immense happiness in this world and beyond. On the other hand their vitiation or aggravation leads to undesirable and disastrous effects in the lives of creatures just like the three vitiated seasons. ”

All the sages agreed to and welcomed the explanation of lord Atreya.
