Manas otherwise the mind is imperial in its seat and actions. The mind accommodates
the consciousness, thought, volition, and feeling. Its role in attention, concentration,
intellect, memory or opinion derivation or the way of thinking or feeling normalcy or
insanity of a person in regard to mental faculties against objects are well established in
the good olden medical faculties such as Ayurveda. Thus, one’s behaviour and mind is
used to qualify a statement of healthy or illness. Comfort of mind ultimately results in
happiness and diseased state requires ones to go for console. The sentient Atma and
Manas with the non-sentient Indriya and Shareera becomes the wholesome functional
human.

Mano Guna - Qualities of Mind

Anutwa (minuteness) and Ekatwa (unification) are the two qualities of the
Mind. The minuteness is identified by the many subject cognation from
different senses. Here the fact is Manas is so fast cognates with different
objects like “Stapatrasuchi” penetrates in many lotus leaves at once, but
practically at a microsecond to each one. This is because of the Vibhutwa,
Amurtatwa, Anutwa, Chalatwa, Chanchalatwa, Ekatwa qualities of Manas.

Manas is Trigunatmakam, i.e. the Trigunas (Satwa, Rajas and Tamas) rides
on the Manas. Thus the Manas is three verities. At the disease manifestation
the Satwa (Kalyanamsha) doesn’t gives raise any disease. Where in the
Rajas (Roshamsha) and Tamas (Mohamsha) are potent manifestations of the
mental attitudes or disease. Charaka defines it as –

Manasika Roga
There is a specified placement of Manasa Roga in Ayurveda.
Charaka contributed two chapters in Nidana as Unmada (Psychotic disorders)
and Apasmara (Psycho-Somatic disorders) apart from Mano Prakruti vikruti
(Psychotic personalities).
Manas and mano hetu are told either for Smanyaja or Nanatmaja vikara.
Shareerika (somatic) and Manasika (psychotic) Dosha Vyadhi
interrelationship is well established as Kama, Shoka and Bhaya aggravates
Vata and Kroodha and Shoka to Pitta. Achintana and Harsha cause Kapha
vitiation.
Rajoguna makes Vata to aggravate and Tamo guna to Kapha.
Even though the manasika Vyadhi are of mano Dosha janya, Shodhana
Chikitsa is based on shareerika Dosha management only.
Charaka at Janapadodhwamsaneeya chapter states that the disease
development initiated with mano-vikara and manasa roga.
