[Views of Kapya about kapha and its functions] After listening to Marichi, Kapya spoke, “Soma, the moon or the god of water, is represented by kapha in our body which in its normal and abnormal state performs good or bad activities or functions in our body, such as firmness or sturdiness of the body and looseness of the body, nourishment and leanness, enthusiasm and laziness, potency and impotency, wisdom and ignorance and similar other pair of qualities.

[Concluding remarks by Atreya] 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. ”
