al-Saʻādah fī falsafat al-akhlāq
An internal organ named in the enumeration of nature's purposive instruments.
And so with all the parts of the body and the remaining members, such as the stomach, the spleen, the gall bladder and the intestines, and likewise all the outward instruments, many as they are:
San Hyan Mahajnana
The gall bladder, a bodily locus identified across several verses as the seat of Īśvara, Mahādeva, and Maheśvara, subject to differing accounts of its size and power.
There is what is called the *bindu* (point), a thumb-width in size, situated in the region of the heart.
*In the bindu is to be known, indeed, that which is joined with the eight, of the measure of a thumb, of superior power.
The gall bladder is as large as the seven islands.
