Pitta (neuter) [cf. Vedic pitta] 1. the bile, gall; the bile also as seat of the bilious temperament, excitement or anger. Two kinds are distinguished at Pj I 60 = Vism 260, viz. baddha° and abaddha°, bile as organ and bile as fluid. See also in detail Vism 359; Vibh-a 65, 243. — In enumerations of the parts or affections of the body pitta is as a rule combined with semha (cf. Vin II 137; Khp 111; Vism 260, 344; Miln 298). — Vin II 137; M III 90; S IV 230, 231 (+ semha); A II 87; III 101, 131; Snp 198 (+ semha), 434 (the same, explained as the two kinds at Pj II 388); Nidd I 370; Ja I 146 (+ semha); II 114 (pittan te kupitaṃ your bile is upset or out of order, i.e. you are in a bad mood); Miln 112 (vāta-pitta-semha ...), 304 (roga, + semha), 382 (+ semha); As 190 (as blue-green); Dhp-a III 15 (cittaṃ n'atthi pittaṃ n'atthi has no heart and no bile, i.e. does not feel and get excited; vv.ll. vitta and nimitta). 2.

The passage is not clear, in commentary on Ud I 7 we read cittaṃ, see Morris loc. cit. May the meaning be "muzzle"? -kosaka gall-bladder Pj I 61; Vism 263; Vibh-a 246.
