Pitta is of the nature of a hot liquid, rather of the nature of a strong acid. It is the consuming or metabolic principle. It is hot (not in action and also not in touch because it is active (Tiksna), and is slightly viscid. Its colour is other than white and Aruna (faintly red) its smell is like that of raw meat and its taste is bitter and sour (CS.Su.20:15). Susruta says that Pitta is liquid, hot, active, foul smelling, blue, yellow etc. in colour, and bitter in taste, when not fully digested, it is sour (SS.Su.21:11). Dalhana explains that the taste of Pitta in the ripe i.e. mature state is bitter and is the raw i.e. immature state

271 is sour, and also the colour of Pitta is blue when it is in the Ama i.e. raw or immature condition. The colour or mature state is bitter and in the raw i.e. immature state is sour, and also that the colour of Pitta is blue when it is in the 'Ama' i.e. raw or immature condition. The colour of mature or ripe Pitta is yellow. From the word 'Ca' in 'nilain pitaim tathaiva ca' of the text, we may infer that there may be other colours of Pitta. The only colours that Pitta may not have are white and faint-red. Charaka have described that the smell and colour of Pitta is similar to those of blood (CS.Ch.4:9). Here we see the smell and colour of Pitta have been described similar to those of blood like the blood, pitta is also foul smelling (like the smell of raw meat or of a burning corpse) and scarlet in colour. We may take it, therefore, that the colour of normal Pitta is red or yellow, when vitiated, it may have other colours, excepting white and light-red. The normal quality of Pitta in the body is five Anjalis i.e. five times the quantity that can be contained in the hallow of one's hands (CS.Su.7:15).
