A person of kapha constitution is described as very intelligent, stout and cheerful, dark like young dūrvā grass (the commentary says darbha shoots), grateful but slow to give up enmity, prosperous, with a voice like a mṛdaṅga, thunder-cloud or lion; affectionate, steady and fond of sweet things, gentle, brave and patient, charming, able to bear pleasure and pain, cold and heat, and free of vices; accomplished in learning and arts though not quick to grasp, good-looking with fine eyes; and in sleep he sees pools and rivers full of swans, lotuses and blue water-lilies.
