Dehaprakti (body constitution)

By them (the doăs) which are present in the ukra (male seed) and ărtava (female seed) at the time of commencement of life, there arises three kinds of prakti (human constitution) just like poisonous worms arise from poison; they (constitutions) are the hna (poor, weak) the madhya (medium, moderate) and the uttama (best, strong) from each (of the ( doăs) respectively; that constitution arising from equal proportion of all of them (the doas) is the samadhatu prakrti, which is ideal; those arising from combination of two doäs are nindya (denounced).
totes :——The male seed is the ukrAQu (spermatazoon) and the female seed is the açclăttu—( the ovum). Both these unite together (fertilisation) and form the embryo and that is the commencement of life. The male and the female seeds produced in the body of the man and the woman, contain the tridoas. At the time of the union of the two seeds the dosăs undergo change in their proportion, either all of them might remain in equal proportion, or any two together might become predominant or any one doa only might become predominant. These conditions greatly influence the nature of the embryo in its characteristic features, which becomes known as Prakrti of man (natural human constitution). Thus seven kinds of prakrtis get formed, three ektdoaja (from any one doa seperately ), three dvafidvaja or sat-hsargaja (from the combination of any two doăs) and one from sammira or sannipata (from the combination of all the three together in equal proportion). moug them, ekadosaja are Ama (poor), the saiisai gaja (dvaikdvaja) ate madhya (moderate) and sammira is uttama (best, ideal). Further, even among the ekadoaja, the first one (vätaja) is hina (poor) the second (pittaja) is madhya (mode. rate), and the third (kaphaja) is uttama (best). The characteristic feature of these prakrtis ( constitutions) has been described in chapter 3 of Sărlra sthăna. The example of poisonous worms is to indicate that though they are born from poison, they donot die of it, but Continue to survive, similarly the prakrti, though formed from the dosăs which are similar to poison continue to manifest in the person as long as he lives.
