<blockquote>वायुः पित्तं कफश्चोक्तः शारीरो दोषसङ्ग्रहः| (Char Samh 1.57)</blockquote><blockquote>vāyuḥ pittaṁ kaphaścōktaḥ śārīrō dōṣasaṅgrahaḥ|</blockquote>Meaning: Vata (also called as Vayu), Pitta and Kapha are the 3 Sharira doshas.
<blockquote>वायुः पित्तं कफश्चोक्तः शारीरो दोषसङ्ग्रहः| (Char Samh 1.57)<ref>Charaka Samhita ([https://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/ecaraka/?mod=read Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 1 Sutram 57])</ref></blockquote><blockquote>vāyuḥ pittaṁ kaphaścōktaḥ śārīrō dōṣasaṅgrahaḥ|</blockquote>Meaning: Vata (also called as Vayu), Pitta and Kapha are the 3 Sharira doshas.
Vayu or Vata dosha is the leader of these 3 doshas. It is believed to be the chief controller of all the functions and activities of living body. Moreover, without Vata doshas the other 2 doshas can not manifest them fully. Thus it comes first in the order of 3 doshas.
