वातपित्तश्लेष्माण एव देहसम्भवहेतवः | तैरेवाव्यापन्नैरधोमध्योर्ध्वसन्निविष्टैः शरीरमिदं धार्यतेऽगारमिव स्थूणाभिस्तिसृभिः अतश्च त्रिस्थूणमाहुरेके | त एव च व्यापन्नाः प्रलयहेतवः | तदेभिरेव शोणितचतुर्थैः सम्भवस्थितिप्रलयेष्वप्यविरहितं शरीरं भवति ||३||

sanskrit

Vata (air), Pitta (bile), and Kapha (phlegm) are the fundamental causes of the body's formation. These three, when balanced and unvitiated, support the body in its lower, middle, and upper regions, much like a house is supported by three pillars. Hence, some refer to the body as "Tristhuna" (supported by three pillars). When these same doshas become vitiated, they become the cause of destruction of the body. Even during the processes of formation, sustenance, and destruction, the body is never free from these three, along with the fourth—blood (Rakta).
