→मनसि सत्वबाहुल्यलक्षणानि॥ Signs of Sattva dominance in manas
When Sattva overpowers tamas and rajas in manas, the person shows peculiar behavior. The mind, body, emotions and behavior of the person which hints towards Sattva predominance is described by Ayurveda acharyas as below.<blockquote>शुद्धसत्त्वजानि शौचमास्तिकत्वं, कृतज्ञता, दाक्षिण्यं, व्यवसायः, शौर्य्यं, गाम्भिर्यं बुद्धिर्मेधा, स्मृतिः शुक्लवर्त्मरुचिर्भक्तिरभिषङ्गाभावस्तमोगुणो विपर्ययश्च॥ (Asht Samg 5.19)<ref>Ashtang Samgraha (Sharirsthanam Adhyayam 5 Sutram 19)</ref> </blockquote><blockquote>śuddhasattvajāni śaucamāstikatvaṁ, kr̥tajñatā, dākṣiṇyaṁ, vyavasāyaḥ, śauryyaṁ, gāmbhiryaṁ buddhirmedhā, smr̥tiḥ śuklavartmarucirbhaktirabhiṣaṅgābhāvastamoguṇo viparyayaśca॥ (Asht Samg 5.19)</blockquote>Meaning: Pure Sattva predominance (in mind) leads to development of tendencies towards hygiene and cleanliness, faithfulness, gratitude, kindness, settled determination, bravery, depth of profundity of character, intelligence, wisdom, memory, choosing pure or right path, devotion, devoid of curse or imprecation and all that is opposite to Tamas properties.

=== त्रिगुणांशानुसारेण मनोबलम् ॥ Strength of mind based on Triguna dominance ===
Trigunas decide the strength or tolerance level of one's mind and body. Sattva predominance makes individual more tolerant, stable and strong to fight and sustain all pains, difficult situations and sufferings. Not just that but the person with sattva predominance in mind can come out of any type of emotional or psychological insults by himself which is by means of self realization owing to the illuminating, enlightening property of sattva. Thus such individuals do not need any external support to come out of distressful situations. They are self reliant and self sufficient. While when there is Rajas dominance one needs some external support or assurance to withstand and come out of troublesome situations in life. On the other hand, when there is Tamas predominance in mind are completely intolerant. They do not possess the strength to face and cope with any situation or incident or person that is distressing.
सत्त्ववान् सहते सर्वं संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना |
<blockquote>सत्त्वं तु व्यसनाभ्युदयक्रियादिस्थानेष्वविक्लवकरम् ॥ सत्त्ववान् सहते सर्वं संस्तभ्यात्मानमात्मना | राजसः स्तभ्यमानोऽन्यैः सहते नैव तामसः ॥ (Sush Samh 35.38)<ref>Sushruta Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 35 Sutram 38)</ref></blockquote><blockquote>sattvaṁ tu vyasanābhyudayakriyādisthāneṣvaviklavakaram ॥ sattvavān sahate sarvaṁ saṁstabhyātmānamātmanā | rājasaḥ stabhyamāno'nyaiḥ sahate naiva tāmasaḥ ॥ (Sush Samh 35.38)</blockquote>
Meaning: Sattva predominance brings neither lassitude nor excitement towards the actions or objects that lead to development of addiction or transient happiness. (TBE) The one who has Sattva profoundness tolerates any situation and is capable of self control or self assurance. Rajas dominated person is comforted when others give assurance while Tamasa dominated person are totally intolerant.
