13. In a broad sense, prakriti may be defined as the nature of an
individual.
mÉëM×üÌiÉ: xuÉpÉÉuÉÉã rÉ: |
According to Ayurvedic texts prakriti of a person is his normal
condition i.e. when he is healthy and unaffected by disease.
ÌuÉMüÉUÉã kÉÉiÉÑuÉæwÉqrÉÇ xÉÉqrÉÇ
mÉëM×üÌiÉÂcrÉiÉã | (cÉ xÉÔ )
Prakriti is a parameter for assessing the dominance of the doshas or more precisely
their gunas in making up a man’s constituition.
Prakriti is determined by the following factors;
1. Sukrasonitha prakriti
2. Kala garbasaya prakriti
3. Mathurahara vihara prakriti
4. Mahabhoota prakriti

14. From the general characteristics described under each of the three primary
prakritis, it can be seen that prakriti has its own mark on the physical, mental and
intellectual features of an individual and whatever goes to make his life completely
as it is.
According to Charaka, prakriti influences the strength, wealth, knowledge and
longeivity etc of a person.
Sama prakriti or kapha prakriti enjoys these qualities in comparatively higher
extent
Pitha prakriti – moderate qualities
Vatha prakriti – shows the least
