The absence of any one doÒha can’t serve the purpose of life, as they are responsible for sriÒti(Creation), stithi(Maintanence) and laya (Destruction) of all creature. SÁdhaka pitta is one among the subtype of Pitta associated with certain mental faculties and emotions. The SÁdhakaPitta is one which helps to achieve CÁturyavidhaPuruÒartha i.e., Dharma (Duty), Artha (Wealth), KÁma (Desire) and Moksa (Liberation). SÁdhaka pitta is one among the subtypes of Pitta associated with certain mental faculties and emotions. These functions can be attributed to the functions of higher centres of brain. It removes the dark thoughts and desires, increases intelligence, memory, wisdom and self- esteem. The structure and function are interrelated because structure influences the function and function affects the structure. The functions of SÁdhaka pitta can be correlated with the functions of higher centres of the brain carried by neurotransmitters. It is the area with vast scope for study and understanding function of SÁdhaka Pitta can be comparable with the functions of higher centres of the Brain carried out by the neurotransmitters.
