It was found that the desire (kama) of human beings could also be influenced by the other impulses inherent in human beings such as anger (krodha), passion (moha), greed (lobha), infatuation (mada), and enmity (matsarya). These six natural impulses were considered as six internal enemies of man (arishadvarga), which if allowed to act uncontrolled could instigate him to entertain evil thoughts in the mind for fulfilling his own selfish desires and for that purpose cause injury to others.

Concerning mental well-being, the objective of Ayurveda is to have pleasant sensory organs (jnanendriya and karmendriya), calm and steady mind, prevalence of sattva guna, and control over the Arishadvarga: kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), moha (attachment), mada (pride), and matsarya (jealousy).

Manasika Vega is the intensification of Dharaniya Vega – Kama , Krodha, Lobha , Mada, Matsarya , etc. This happens due to the intensification of Raga and Dvesha , which is triggered by the vitiation of Rajas and Tamas due to Asatmyaendriyartha Samyoga , Prajnaparadh a and Parinama . When Raga and Dvesha get intensified, it leads to strengthening of desires, which in turn leads to a series of associated emotions of anger, fear, greed, delusion, etc. Scriptures identify Manasika Vega as a disease in themselves because they affect the functioning and health of the mind when left unchecked and divert the mind from the purpose of life – which is the pursuit of the fourfold goals of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha . As a result, they cause an imbalance in the three legs of life – body, mind and soul, leading to physiological diseases, psychological diseases and Vasanas , that are the impressions from previous births which affects health as well. Therefore, Ayurvedic and Allied Scriptures recommend addressing the root cause, controlling the senses, cleaning the mind and the intellect through lifestyle modification, diet and psycho spiritual practices. These practices are listed in several different scriptures at philosophical and practical levels and need regular practice to have an effect. With regular practice aimed at restoring Sattva , the third Guna that is considered the purest, Rajas and Tamas can be destroyed, leading to detachment to sensorial pleasures and a steady, well-regulated and healthy mind.<ref>Sridevi, G., & Dash, S.
