Mudutā (Pali) is a Buddhist term translated as "malleability", and it is the basis for the following pair of mental factors within the Theravada Abhidharma teachings:
- Kāyamudutā - malleability of mental body (or pliancy of cetasika)
- Cittamudutā - malleability of consciousness (or pliancy of citta)
These two mental factors have the characteristic of the subsiding of rigidity (thambha) in the mental body and consciousness, respectively.
