तत्र त्रयः शरीरदोषा वातपित्तश्लेष्माणः, ते शरीरं दूषयन्ति; द्वौ पुनः सत्त्वदोषौ रजस्तमश्च, तौ सत्त्वं दूषयतः। ताभ्यां च सत्त्वशरीराभ्यां दुष्टाभ्यां विकृतिरुपजायते, नोपजायते चाप्रदुष्टाभ्याम् ॥३४॥

[Causes of psychic and somatic abnormalities] There are three bodily doshas i.e. vata, pitta and kapha- they vitiate the body. Again, there are two doshas of mind i. e. rajas and tamas- they vitiate the mind. Vitiation of the body and the mind causes the expression of diseases and no disease is caused without vitiation of doshas.
