3.6.13_2

tasya tasya *kila doṣasyādhikyāt sā sā doṣaprakṛtirucyate manuṣyāṇāṃ, na ca vikṛteṣu doṣeṣu prakṛtisthatvamupapadyate, tasmānnaitāḥ prakṛtayaḥ santi; santi tu khalu vātalāḥ pittalāḥ śleṣmalāśca, aprakṛtisthāstu te jñeyāḥ//

It is because of the excess of this or that dosha, it is said, that this or that dosha-constitution of humans is spoken of; but when the doshas are abnormal, state of normal constitution is not possible; therefore these are not constitutions; rather, there are people prone to vāta, prone to pitta, and prone to kapha, but they are to be known as not in their normal constitution.
