Pada, Navamsha & Pada Lord Details
Beyond the starting syllable, each pada of Shatabhisha maps to a navamsha (D9) rashi with its own lord. Pandits weigh the pada lord alongside the nakshatra ruler (rahu) when finalising a name in the Namkaran Sanskar:
| Pada | Syllable | Navamsha rashi | Pada lord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | Go (गो) | Dhanu | Jupiter |
| Pada 2 | Sa (सा) | Makar | Saturn |
| Pada 3 | Si (सी) | Kumbh | Saturn |
| Pada 4 | Su (सू) | Meen | Jupiter |
Nakshatra Significance
Shatabhisha (शतभिषा) is the 24th nakshatra in the 27-nakshatra system. Its presiding deity is Varuna, with rahu as the ruling graha. The symbol — Empty circle/100 flowers — characterises the qualities this nakshatra confers on those born under it.
The gana for Shatabhisha is rakshasa, used in Ashtakoota matching. The Nadi is adi — same-Nadi marriages are traditionally avoided (Nadi Dosha), while different-Nadi pairings are considered ideal for health compatibility.
Shatabhisha spans 306.667°–320° of the zodiac and is classed as a movable nakshatra of rakshasa nature. Classically it signifies healing, mysticism, solitude, vast_ocean — themes elders often echo in the meaning of the name chosen for a Shatabhisha-born child.
Nadi & Gana — Matching Context for Shatabhisha Babies
Shatabhisha belongs to the Adi (Vata) Nadi. In Ashtakoota matching, a partner born in the same Nadi scores 0 of 8 in the Nadi koota (Nadi Dosha). The other Adi-Nadi nakshatras a Shatabhisha-born traditionally checks against are: Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Moola, Purva Bhadrapada.
Its gana is rakshasa — shared with Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha, Moola, Dhanishta. Gana describes innate temperament in the Gan koota (6 points), which is why elders often ask for the nakshatra, not just the rashi, when a match is discussed.
