Pitta — liver region
Rañjaka and hepatic transformation focus
The liver-region point marks a Pitta transformation focus, including the classical ranjaka-pitta teaching as interpreted through modern hepatic language. It is placed at x < 0.5 for anatomical-right in this front view, with a wide uncertainty radius because the doṣa doctrine is functional rather than a measured organ chart.
