Varun's personality attributes can be described as dutiful, truthful, disciplined, clean and detached. Which type of personality is Varun having according to Charak Samhita?

Sattva guna

The correct answer is Option (1) → Sattva guna

According to Charak Samhita, a person dominated by Sattva guna is characterized by qualities such as truthfulness, discipline, cleanliness, detachment, and dutifulness. These traits reflect purity, harmony, and a balanced mind — all of which describe Varun's personality.

"In India , Charak Samhita, a famous treatise on Ayurveda, classifies people into the categories of vata, pitta and kapha on the basis of three humoural elements called tridosha. Each refers to a type of temperament, called prakriti (basic nature) of a person. Apart from this, there is also a typology of personality based on the trigunas, i.e. sattva, rajas, and tamas.

Sattva guna includes attributes like cleanliness, truthfulness, dutifulness, detachment, discipline, etc. Rajas guna includes intensive activity, desire for sense gratification, dissatisfaction, envy for others, and a materialistic mentality, etc. Tamas guna characterises anger, arrogance, depression, laziness, feeling of helplessness, etc. All the three gunas are present in each and every person in different degrees. The dominance of one or the other guna may lead to a particular type of behaviour."
