Etymology Of Ayurveda Pitta In Sanskrit Language:The etymological description of any word suggests many useful and original information. Let us dissect the word Pitta. "Tapa Santape." (Sushruta Samhita, Sutra Section, 21/5) This root is modified by the prefix 'ita' in place of 'Ta' to get the word Pitta. This word suggests the action of burning or heat.
