ABSTRACT

The Trayopastambha are considered as the subsidiary pillars, which supports and activates the body of the human beings throughout the life span by providing with different qualities like Bala, Varna, Upchaya etc. The Trayopastambha are Ahara, Nidra and Brahmacharya. Each one of these is important as these factors are mainly dealing with providing the basic needs of human beings. But these also should be done in proper way as over indulgence or total abstinence of any of these pillars may produce harmful effects to our body. Among these factors Nidra (sleep) is one of the important factors as it is one which provides complete relaxation to the body and mind, resulting in the restoration of potentials of the individual.
