sanskrit

[Innumerable types of mind based on combinations] In this way, three types of mind have innumerable varieties. The sattvika type of mental faculty is of seven types depending upon the disposition of Brahma, Rishi, Indra, Yama, Varuna, Kubera and Gandharva. The rajasa type of mind is of six types depending upon the dispositions of asura, rakshasa, paishacha, sarpa, preta and shakuni. The tamasa type of mind faculty is of three types depending upon the dispositions of pashu (animal), matsya (fish) and vanaspati (vegetable life). All these descriptions are made with a view to indicate the general mode of mind treatment that should be provided. [40] केवलश्चायमुद्देशो यथोद्देशमभिनिर्दिष्टो भवति गर्भावक्रान्तिसम्प्रयुक्तः ; तस्य चार्थस्य विज्ञाने सामर्थ्यं गर्भकराणां चभावानामनुसमाधिः, विधातश्च विघातकराणां भावानामिति||४१|| In this way, the entire description of descent into embryo is explained in keeping with the purpose with which the chapter was initiated i.e. to provide knowledge regarding the formation of embryo. By obtaining this knowledge one can help to way out to the factors which are responsible for the proper growth of the fetus and avoiding the factors which come in the way of its proper development.
